The wonderful Utah scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The Swift Creek to Reservoir section of Yellowstone River is 2 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II section. The campgrounds here at Yellowstone River are pretty good. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either
way in this general area you won't find many other paddling spots. This stretch is short so no need to bring snacks. The Swift Creek to Reservoir section is the only paddling section along Yellowstone River. Getting your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time
in nature have a lot of people coming here. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Whitewater paddling here in the Uinta Mountains is a great experience.
