Bignottie is a lovely place to fish, bird watch, or picnic by the Verde River. Canoers and kayakers who put in for a short, smooth water float from Black Canyon River Access Point end their float trip here as the water is generally too shallow and has too many obstacles for boating down river between Bignottie and White Bridge which is 14 miles down river. For more information about boating on the Verde River please see the Verde River Paddle Guide, Hwy 89A – Beasley Flat.
