Utah whitewater - Provo River, Wasatch Range, Wasatch/ Utah County

Wasatch/ Utah county, Deer Creek Reservoir to Utah Lake section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-IV     17.5 miles
  The starting location is a short drive from Provo-Orem, as you can see on the road map further down. The scenic beauty of Wasatch/ Utah County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. This stretch of Provo River is 17.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-IV section. This river system has a few good paddling sections and the Deer Creek Reservoir to Utah Lake section is one of them. The sections for whitewater rafting and
    kayaking here in Utah are often more forgiving than in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. You can enjoy this stretch more if you take your time, so pack your camp stove. There are many good hotels to choose
from, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you won't find a large number of other rivers. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great attractions for lots of people. The wild scenery of the Wasatch Range is great.

Briefly about the general area:
Provo River is a location that is quite arid regularly; the month of April is the wettest with most of the rain, and July on the other hand is the driest.
 
Summertime brings highs in the 80's to Provo River, and through the night it cools down to the 50's. Highs all through the wintertime are commonly in the 30's while Provo River nighttime low temperatures all through the wintertime are in the 10's.
Having a glorious time in the Wasatch Range is simple. There's splendid hiking along the Indian Trail. The Mount Timpanogos Trail offers hiking at its best; a glorious spot close by is Pole Canyon.
