Vishnu River Supply is located in Flagstaff, Arizona - A local hub for Grand Canyon River Trips -

Flagstaff is the heart of the Grand Canyon river community as well as the jumping off point for most GC trips. Flagstaff is known as the center of culture and economical hub of the colorado plateau. This is the usual starting off point for both commercial and private river trips on the Colorado River through Grand Canyon. There are also many other rivers including the Salt, Verde, San Juan, Gila and many other small rivers, creeks and lakes that are within reach of Flagstaff. Vishnu Is dedicated to serving and supporting this community.

Blue Ridge Reservoir

Blue Ridge is a remote lake on the edge of the Mogollon rim (South of Flagstaff & North of Phoenix) that offers secluded paddling in the pines. A good day trip from up North, or an amazing overnight camping trip!

Lake Mary

Lake Mary is a serene high altitude lake surrounded by pines. About 4 miles long and a few hundred yards wide. A great place for stand up paddle boarding, kayaking or fishing in Summer Months.

The Verde River

The biggest drainage coming off the mogollon rim, the verde starts in the high country and runs thru the verde valley into the Salt river. There are several beatable sections on the Verde that can be done as day trips or overnight. And there's hot springs. Most sections are class 1-2 and are great for SUP's, inflatable kayaks, kayaks or packrafts. Can be rafted at higher flows. There is one section that has a few class III-IV rapids. Flows mainly in late winter to spring and during monsoon season.

The San Juan River

A mellow, winding desert river that cuts thru a beautiful and accessible desert canyon. Great trip for everyone from first timers to experienced boaters and awesome trip for kids. Can be run most of the year, but permit is required. Best run in 2-5 days

Oak Creek Canyon

Oak Creek is the premier drainage of the mogollon rim and a spectacular forested desert canyon. Starting just south of flagstaff and running down thru sedona and into the verde river, oak creek runs year round. However, only in winter and spring will it get enough flow to be boatable. There are several sections on the creek ranging from class II-V. The most accessible creek boating in Arizona, oak can have something for many ranges of boaters, but can have many hazards. Enjoyed best by more experienced boaters in kayaks, pack rafts and inflatable kayaks

The Salt River

The Salt River is a unique desert river that offers paddlers a chance to get on the river before most other western rivers have started flowing. Great camping and mostly class III Rapids are abound. A permit is required to paddle here. There are many options here from different sections of a daily paddle to a 60 mile multi-day wilderness experiences.
