Utah whitewater - Virgin River, Washington County

Washington county, Virgin to Littlefield section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-V(V+)     49 miles
  The natural beauty of Utah and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water will make you feel great. The put-in location is a short drive from St. George, as you can see on the road map further down. The Virgin to Littlefield section of Virgin River in Utah is 49 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-V(V+) section. There are no other stretches to paddle along Virgin River than the Virgin to Littlefield stretch. A good workout and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of people. There are plenty of
    hotels here if you want to spend a night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. A stretch of this length does require some preparations, so it looks like you will be camping out. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. If you've been whitewater
rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so don't forget that the rivers in this state are less demanding.

Briefly about the general area:
Virgin River is pretty waterless generally; March is when you get the most rain here; June is the month with the least moisture. A visit to Mokaac Wash is always fun.
High temperatures at Virgin River all through the warm days of summer are in the 90's. For the duration of the dark hours of summer temperatures sink down into the 50's. The wintertime comes with highs in the 40's, and night lows during the winter for Virgin River tend to be in the 20's.
