If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more forgiving, so better not forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. This stretch of Green River in Uintah County is 46 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class I-II section of whitewater. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here. |
The wonderful Uintah County scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. Now this is a pretty long section, perfect for a real wilderness adventure. You can pitch
| a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The beauty of the Uinta Mountains is a great plus for this river. The Flaming Gorge to Lodore stretch is one of many paddling stretches in this river system. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good places. The starting location is a short drive from Vernal, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. | |
