Have been here a few times. We like to go with people when they come in from out of town. Read the prior reviews. Bring plenty of water and sunscreen. I wear a floppy hat because my bald head burns easy. Plus I can dip it in the water and put it on for a refreshing feeling. We always go early so we can get out before phoenix rush hour hits too bad. Today was slower on the river early so we didn't have many people we could squirt with our water guns.
We would go back here again. There were no dead bodies. None of use perished. None of us have water bourne disease. Just watch the sun and the hydration and you will have a great time. Oh yeah also have some water shoes. Getting to the water and out of the water is very rocky.
