Utah whitewater - Bear River, Box Elder County

Box Elder county, Sulphur Campground to Chalk Creek WY section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-IV     15 miles
  The average Utah whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be easier to run than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. The nature scenery of Box Elder County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This section of Bear River is 15 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-IV section. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. 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. This stretch is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so go ahead and pack your camp stove. For all you camping people there
are campgrounds nearby. There are no other stretches to paddle along Bear River than the Sulphur Campground to Chalk Creek WY stretch.
