This section of Blacksmith Fork is 9 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-III section. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The scenic beauty of Cache County and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far. The Hardware Ranch to Hyrum City Power Plant stretch is the only paddling stretch
along Blacksmith Fork. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. This is a pretty decent length section, good for a one day paddling trip. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way around here you won't
find a large number of other places. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Utah are easier than the national norm, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. The river winds through the Wasatch Range and you get great scenery. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more.
Briefly about the general area: So much cool stuff to do in the Wasatch Range, not enough time. Pig Hole Spring is a tremendous local attraction. It's
always pleasant to stop by Warrens Spring; close by South Cottonwood Canyon is a wonderful place to go. Blacksmith Fork is pretty arid generally; the month with most of the rain is April, and the driest month of the year is July. For the period of the summer months here at
Blacksmith Fork, high temperatures generally reach the 90's. When the night sets in temperatures fall down into the 50's. All through the winter highs are regularly in the 30's with winter lows in the 10's overnight here at Blacksmith Fork.
