Exploring Rio Arga: Canoeing and Kayaking from Pamplona to Puente La Reina

Camino Way markers in Bronze
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Interesting idea.
But looking at google maps I can see 4 dams and frequent (dozens) of shoals.
I doubt it's navigable.

I'm pretty sure I already know the answer, but you never know unless you ask. Is it possible to rent a canoe or kayak and paddle the Rio Arga from Pamplona to Puente La Reina? Would be a very interesting way to do that stage.

You could contact the Club Nautico de Navarra in Pamplona.
I remember the place from the time I stayed at albergue Casa Paderborn in Pamplona that is in the same barrio.

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

If it is even feasible, you probably need 2 people doing the trip so you portage the canoes or kayaks when needed.

Years ago one of my favorite authors, William Least Heat Moon, made a trip by river from NYC to Portland Oregon (Atlantic to the Pacific oceans) thru 3 river basins: the Hudson/Mohawk, the Mississippi/Alleghany/Missouri and the Columbia/Snake Rivers. He wrote about it in '"The Riverhorse". The portages between the river basins were only a few hundred feet. He made it through some pretty thin water in a canoe in order to make that work. FYI he uses a motor boat on the bigger rivers and canoe on the streams.

Good luck if you do it, it will be an adventure!
