Welcome to the Grand Canyon Private Boaters Association Website!

Our Goal:

  • Ensure the ability for all to obtain, on an equal and timely basis, an opportunity to experience a float trip through the Grand Canyon while protecting the resource.


Letter from the President Print E-mail

There are many places that an organization such as Grand Canyon Private Boaters Association could help to solve river management problems. A recent query to our board of directors indicated boater interest in the Colorado River through Cataract Canyon that ends in southern Utah over a hundred miles upstream from the Grand Canyon.

Cataract Canyon has its own access framework that seems relatively under control with no looming problems or long-standing inequities of the type that Grand Canyon Private Boaters Association helps to solve in Grand Canyon. GCPBA is aware of many access, resource, and public safety issues within the Colorado River watershed and across the nation and we continue to use and report the best relevant concepts for river management. Our board of directors and our members are intimately familiar with a broad spectrum of rivers and river issues but our GCPBA focus and resources remain specifically targeted on Grand Canyon.

A great way of finding information from our members about non-Grand Canyon issues would be to join our gcpba@yahoogroups forum and watch for anything pertinent and to then ask for opinions about your issues. GCBPA would provide an opinion or policy position if warranted but I believe the greatest wisdom about non-Grand Canyon issues would come from the river community we serve on that list. Our web site www.gcpba.org remains a very fine source of Grand Canyon specific river running information. Thank you for your input and requests. The more we know the more we can help.

GCPBA FEIS SUMMARY Print E-mail

The following information has been developed by Grand Canyon Private Boater’s Association after a review of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) developed by the National Park Service (NPS) for the Colorado River Management Plan (CRMP). This information is provided to assist those who wish to have a basic summary of the FIES, but are unable to review the document in its entirety. While representing key features of the FIES as accurately as possible, because the FEIS does not outline final operational procedures, there unavoidably are areas where this summary will be incomplete.
