CLASS IV-V 4 miles
This section of Jones Hole Creek in Uinta County is 4 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class IV-V section. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state than those in other states, so don't forget that many runs in this state are very easy. When you're paddling down a Uinta Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Since you're
on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with not too many other rivers for that. The beautiful scenery of Utah and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. This is the
only paddling section along Jones Hole Creek. On this section you do get some distance, it's perfect for a one day trip. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great attractions for lots of people.
