Utah whitewater - Jones Hole Creek, Uinta Mountains, Uinta County

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

 

CLASS IV-V     4 miles
  The National Fish Hatchery to Green River confluence stretch of Jones Hole Creek is 4 miles long and it is classified as a class IV-V section by American Whitewater. The wonderful Uinta County scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here. Jones Hole Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the National Fish Hatchery to Green River confluence stretch is the only one. 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. The wild scenery of the Uinta Mountains is great. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. The average Utah whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be easier to run than
those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that a lot of the rivers here are suitable for beginners. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. This stretch is mid length, you can easily run it on an afternoon. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people coming here.

Briefly about the general area:
Throughout the summer months here at Jones Hole Creek, high temperatures commonly reach the 90's. For the period of the dark hours of summer temperatures sink down into the 50's. The cold days
 
of the wintertime come with highs in the 30's, and nighttime lows during the winter for Jones Hole Creek tend to be in the 10's. And if that's not enough there's a heap more fun stuff to do in the Uinta Mountains. Burnt Springs is an inspiring spot to take a look at while you're here, and a splendid spot is Big Draw.
Jones Hole Creek gets very little precipitation; the wettest month of the year is typically May, that's the one that rains the most while January is usually the driest month. A tour to Jones Hole Creek wouldn't be complete without taking a look at Jones Hole Springs, and going for a hike on the Jones Hole Trail is always a nice adventure. This river is so wonderful.
