Utah whitewater - Green River, Uinta Mountains, Uintah County

Uintah county, Flaming Gorge to Lodore section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     46 miles
  The nature scenery of Uintah County and the playfulness of the water attract people from near and far. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. The Flaming Gorge to Lodore section of Green River in Uintah County is 46 miles long and it is classified as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but
    you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more. A section like this is is of course not run in a single day, so make sure you pack enough food along with your camping
gear. The Uinta Mountains scenery is wonderful. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling spots. There are plenty of other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well.
