This stretch of Strawberry River in Duchesne County is 36 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-V section. A section like this is is of course not run in a single day, so make sure you pack enough food along with your camping gear. You can pitch
a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with not too many other spots for that. This is the only paddling stretch along Strawberry River. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if
you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
