Great ride from above Woodland to the 1000 E. bridge (which is a good scare during high water, 1500 cfs). After the bridge the log jams, second diversion dam and constant river splits can be fun in the right craft (13 ft raft, not recommended). Great rush! Says The Heathen Monsters (see picture)
Yeah...this river especially the lower part...really rocks. Says Brad
If you're coming from Provo-Orem it's not a long drive at all |
to the starting location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Utah tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so if you're not from around here
| don't forget that the rivers in this state are less demanding. This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too. The scenic beauty of Utah and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream will make you feel great. This stretch has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so go ahead and pack your sleeping bag. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you | |
