Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Utah
    are often more forgiving than in other states, so don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you won't find many other paddling rivers. Strawberry River doesn't have a lot of paddling
stretches, the Soldier Creek to Starvation Res stretch is the only one. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set.
