Moon Lake to Bridge to Yellowstone River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Utah are easier than the national norm, so better not forget that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. The wonderful Duchesne County scenery and the playfulness of the water beats anything. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. The beauty of the Uinta Mountains is a great plus for this river. You can pitch a tent or park your RV
at a nearby campground. There are no other sections to paddle along Lake Fork than the Moon Lake to Bridge to Yellowstone River section. The Moon Lake to Bridge to Yellowstone River stretch of Lake Fork in Duchesne County is 8.3 miles long and is a class II-IV section of whitewater
