Utah whitewater - White River, Rio Blanco / Uintah County

Rio Blanco / Uintah county, Rangely to Green River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     95 miles
  The natural beauty of Rio Blanco / Uintah County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are not so many other good spots for that around here. Now this is a pretty long section, so better bring your camping gear along. White River doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Rangely to Green River stretch is the only one. The nearby hotels are a
    bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Utah tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so you'd better keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are quite
easy. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground.
