Utah whitewater - Green River, Uinta Mountains, Uintah County

Uintah county, Canyon of Lodore Colorado to US 40 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-IV     44 miles
  The average Utah whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so don't forget that lots of rivers here are good for beginners. The beautiful scenery of Uintah County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. There are so many sections to paddle in this river system, the Canyon of Lodore Colorado to US 40 section is just one of many. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. Now
    this is a pretty long section, so better bring your camping gear along. This stretch of Green River is 44 miles long and has been rated as a class II-IV section by American Whitewater. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come.
You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with not too many other spots for that. The wild scenery of the Uinta Mountains is great. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground.

Briefly about the general area:
If the weather is delightful here at Green River, you can go for a hike along the Jones Hole Trail, and Island Park Fault is a brilliant place to spend some time. This river is so great.

and the driest of the months is January. So much entertaining stuff to do here in the Uinta Mountains, too brilliant to be true.
