Uinta county, National Fish Hatchery to Green River confluence section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

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.

Briefly about the general area:
Jones Hole Creek is a location that is pretty dry ordinarily; May is the wettest month with most rain, and the driest month is January. The warmest time of the year brings highs in the 90's to Jones Hole Creek, and during summer nights temperatures are
 
in the 50's. Through the winter the highs are mostly in the 30's, and after the sun is down during the wintertime temperatures at Jones Hole Creek drop into the 10's.
The beauty of mother nature reveals herself at Burnt Springs; there is a delightful hiking trail nearby called the Jones Hole Trail. Lots of fun awaits you along this river. All year is a delightful time in the Uinta Mountains if you love the outdoors. A spree to Jones Hole Creek wouldn't be complete without taking a look at Jones Hole Springs; Big Draw is in the vicinity, and is a perfect place.
