CLASS III-IV     6 miles
  If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Utah you might find the rivers here a bit more manageable, so keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are pretty easy. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This section of Cottonwood Creek in Utah is 6 miles long and has been rated as a class III-IV section by American Whitewater. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near. If you're a camper you can
    camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. The wonderful Emery County scenery and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. On this section you do get some distance, it's good length for a morning trip. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either
way this is an area with not too many other rivers for that. The Joe's Valley Reservoir to Route 29 section is the only paddling section along Cottonwood Creek.
