Utah whitewater - Jordan River, Utah/ Salt Lake County

Utah/ Salt Lake county, Utah Lake to Rose Park section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     51 miles
  The beautiful scenery of Utah/ Salt Lake County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This stretch of Jordan River in Utah is 51 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-II section. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Salt Lake City, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. There
    are no other stretches to paddle along Jordan River than the Utah Lake to Rose Park stretch. There are some good hotels near the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers
here more forgiving, so better not forget that many runs in this state are very easy. A stretch this long is of course too much for a one day trip, so it looks like you will be camping out.
