For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. This is the only paddling section along East River. This section of East River in Gunnison County is 0.75 miles long and is according to American

Briefly about the general area: It's always perfect to check out Judd Falls, and you can never get enough of the magnificent skiing at Crested Butte. For the duration of the warm days of summer at East River highs are commonly in the 70's. When the night sets in temperatures plunge down into the 40's. The winter brings highs down to the 30's while the cold winter nights at East River are in the-10's. East River is mostly a pretty
dried out site; the month with most of the rain is August, and February is when it's the driest. Why not take a refreshing hike along the Trail Riders Trail.
