Pebble Beach/Blue Point Bridge (Bus Stop #2)

This area actually comprises 3 parking areas, Pebble Beach is on river right up stream of the bridge and Blue Point is on both sides of the bridge down stream. Some also refer to the area on river left as Sheeps Crossing, although this can be confused with a RAP on the Verde River as well. This area is a popular place for kayak or canoe practice because at least one of the three parking areas is accessable year round and the area just up stream of the bridge is somewhat pond like with a very gentle current at most flows. Summer weekends can see a large population of people, particularly tubers, but throughout the other three seasons, it's typically quite and a great place to launch for a shorter trip. As with several other parking areas on this run, Tonto passes are required to park and restrooms (pit toilets) are available.
