Utah whitewater - Rock Creek, Uinta Mountains, Duchesne County Duchesne county, Upper Stillwater Dam to Route 134 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II-V     5 miles   (...) The section is comprised of 3 class 3+/IV- drops with swift braided channels in between. It seldom flows since most water is diverted over to the Wasatch front from the Upper Stillwater Dam (it has to spill to be runnable.) Climatologically speaking, March is actually the month of our highest precipitation (which falls as snow, building the pack which then melts in May/June.) Most people find this section of river not nearly as rewarding as other runs in the state. Says Rob Gadd The nature scenery of Duchesne County and the beautiful way     the water current moves down the stream attract people from near and far.
