Utah whitewater, Rock Creek Duchesne county, Upper Stillwater Dam to Route 134 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II-V     5 miles   (...) The section is comprised of 3 class 3+/IV- drops with swift braided channels in between. It seldom flows since most water is diverted over to the Wasatch front from the Upper Stillwater Dam (it has to spill to be runnable.) Climatologically speaking, March is actually the month of our highest precipitation (which falls as snow, building the pack which then melts in May/June.) Most people find this section of river not nearly as rewarding as     other runs in the state. Says Rob Gadd The average Utah whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so don't forget that many runs in this state are very easy. This section of Rock Creek in Duchesne County is 5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-V section. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. The beautiful Uinta Mountains scenery is an added   bonus. There are some good stretches to paddle in this river system, the Upper Stillwater Dam to Route 134 stretch is one of them.
