Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Colorado is often tougher than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. The Uinta Mountains scenery is wonderful. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people coming here. The scenic beauty of Colorado and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. The campgrounds here at Green River are pretty good. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking,
either way this is an area with not too many other spots for that. This is not the only paddling section in this river system, there are others too. A stretch of this length does require some preparations, so it looks like you will be camping out. This stretch of Green River in
Moffat County is 44 miles long and it is classified as a class II-IV section by American Whitewater. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
