Desert River Outfitters takes pride in offering the most comprehensive selection of kayaks and canoes for purchase on the lower Colorado River. We have a policy of try before you buy so feel free to take us up on this policy. We also have a good selection of accessories to get you on the river. Although we don't have a big or fancy store, we do believe in offering reasonable prices on quality paddling gear.

In our line of boats, we offer several brands from Johnson Outdoors but we specialize in the Ocean Kayak sit-on-top. We are the only stocking dealer for O.K. in Arizona and try to have at least one of each model available to demo or purchase. We have found over time that O.K. provides an excellent way to enter the world of paddling and they have something to offer everyone. We have introduced people to the sport that would not think about it by showing them how user friendly and fun Ocean Kayak boats are. If it's a sit-on-top you're looking for gives us a call and let us help get you into a boat that fits, and will do what you want it to do.

Old Town is another brand of boat we carry. While we don't stock a lot of their boats we can offer advice and help recommend a boat in their line that will fit your needs.

Are you looking for canoe that helps bring back memories of your youth learning to paddle at summer camp or river trips as a scout? We have aluminum canoes from Osage Canoes of Lebanon Missouri available. Their boat has been manufactured for almost 50 years under several names but with some of the same employees that helped build a boat that has become a classic. We have 17' double enders in stock and available at a very reasonable price. This is a boat that will last a lifetime. Osage also makes trailers and accessories and has pricing for boat packages that scout troops or other groups can take advantage of. Contact us for more information on a high quality aluminum canoe.

While we don't carry a lot of accessories we have basic high quality gear that is reasonably priced and we use ourselves. We carry such lines as Northwest River Supplies, Werner Paddles (the best), Mohawk paddles, http://www.oceankayak.comOcean Kayak, Old Town and Mountain Surf in paddling gear. We sell Quick-n-Easy brackets and have foam blocks and saddles from Rubber Rope products to help you transport your kayak or canoe. We also carry Thule Sport Racks and can accomodate most vehicles.

In order to help you look good or feel good on the river we carry Teva Sandals, Ultimate Hats and the Desert River Outfitters T-shirts. During the winter months, we also try to have fleece jackets by Riverbirch and socks from Wyoming Woolens. Even though this is the desert we still have cool temperatures and need to stay warm.

If its information you need we have books and videos available. We also carry Paddler and Canoe and Kayak magazine and invite you to come and browse through our selection of reading material.

If we have failed to mention something you need, feel free to call and ask for it. If we don't have it, chances are we can get it, or direct you to the right source.
