Re: [Paddlewise] Black Canyon and Lake Mohave

Merlin,
   
  For Black Canyon, my friends and I do as you said, paddle north from Willow Beach. I haven't ventured south of there. Here is a photo journal link to one of our Black Canyon trips:

  Having decided to put off Flaming Gorge until next summer because of 
worsening weather, I am now considering a trip to Black Canyon (below 
Hoover Dam) and Lake Mohave either mid-November or early December.

Having researched as much as possible, it seems far better to launch 
from Willow Beach and paddle north up the river, camping a couple of 
nights some 5-8 miles from the launch site, rather than deal with 
mandatory livery shuttles and permits in order to put in at the foot of 
the dam.

Also wanting to include some of the areas south toward Lake Mohave as 
well. My thought is to leave my car at Willow Beach, and set up a 
basecamp some 10 miles wouth of there, after the Black Canyon part of 
the trip.

Any information, suggestions, etc. are greatly appreciated.
