The Left Fork to Utah Experimental Farm section of Huntington Creek in Emery County is 12.5 miles long and has been rated as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. The beautiful scenery of Emery County and the water flowing gracefully down Huntington Creek will make you feel great. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Utah are often easier than in other |
states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers in this state are less demanding. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations in advance you're all
| set. If you're coming from Price it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. You can enjoy this section more if you take your time, so pack your sleeping bag. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. A good workout and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of | |
|
people.
Briefly about the general area: McCadden Hollow is a splendid place to pop by close by; a tour to Huntington State Park invigorates the spirit. The Chris Otteson Trail offers hiking at its best, and Huntington
Creek is right by the CCC Trail. This river is so great. Summertime brings highs in the 70's to Huntington Creek; the overnight is a bit chillier of course, typically in the 40's. For the period of the winter highs are in
the 20's, and after the sun is down all through the wintertime temperatures at Huntington Creek descend into the-10's. At Huntington Creek you don’t see much rain.
