CLASS V 1.8 miles
The Kannah Creek Trailhead to Girl Scout Camp Bridge stretch of Kannah Creek in Mesa County is 1.8 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class V section. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. There are some good stretches to paddle in this river system, the Kannah Creek Trailhead to Girl Scout Camp Bridge stretch is one of them. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from
far and near. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. This is a pretty short section so no need to bring snacks. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can
camp. The put-in is not too far from Grand Junction, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. The nature scenery of Mesa County and the cool fresh water beats anything.
