Duchesne/ Wasatch county, Dry Hollow to Strawberry River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     25 miles
  The average Utah whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be easier to run than those in other states, so don't forget that rivers here are less demanding. The beautiful scenery of Utah and the water flowing gracefully down Currant Creek are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The beauty of the Uinta Mountains is a great plus for this river. 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.
