Coon Bluff

Coon Bluff is both a river access point and a campground, although it is worth noting that camping is only permitted between Oct. 15th and Apr. 15th. Throughout the summer, a gate may be closed after sun down. Like most of the parking areas, pit toilets and some picknick areas are present and Tonto Passes are required in parked cars. Launching may be a bit difficult due to steep banks in most areas, but there are a couple of reasonable slopes if one walks a few hundred yards up or down stream. Tubers aren't present, so paddlers often use this as a put in during summer months if they are starting out later in the morning or early afternoon. Throughout the year, it is used as a takeout too if one wants to avoid the slower current further down.
