We have two river trips down the current, the 2.5 hour Barton to Galluip trip and the 1.5 hour Argo to Gallup trip. Also offered are 2 hour stillwater paddles in the reservoirs. Boats available are kayaks, canoes, rafts, stand up paddleboards, paddleboats, and rowboats. In summer months we rent tubes for floats in the Argo Cascades.
Gallup Park Livery is located 3.7 miles downstream from Argo and is where our river trips end. The Gallup Livery offers the longer 2.5 hour river trip and in the spring and fall when the Argo location is closed Gallup offers the 1.5 hour trip. Gallup also has programs and stillwater boat rentals in 2.5 mile Gallup reservoir.
Parking at Argo on Summer Weekends
Argo Canoe Livery is busy on nice weather weekends and parking is limited, please carpool, bus or walk! We've improved weekend parking options by adding offsite Argo parking at Kellogg Eye Center with a short pleasant walk up the Argo Cascade pathway.
