Upstream of Panguitch to Salina section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I-III 70 miles
The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Utah are often easier than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The Upstream of Panguitch to Salina section of Sevier River is 70 miles long and it is classified as a class I-III section by American Whitewater. There are no other sections to paddle along Sevier River than
the Upstream of Panguitch to Salina section. The wonderful Sevier County scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Sevier River beats anything. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. A stretch this long is of course too much for a one day trip, perfect
for a real wilderness adventure. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are not so many other good rivers for that around here.
