The average Utah whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be easier to run than those in other states, so don't forget that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The Flaming Gorge Dam to Swallow Canyon boat ramp stretch is one of
many paddling stretches in this river system. The river winds through the Uinta Mountains and you get great scenery. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. No matter
if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with not too many other places for that. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your camp stove. Getting a good workout and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come.
