This stretch of White River in Rio Blanco / Uintah County is 95 miles long and is a class I-II section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. A section like this is is of course not run in a single day, so better bring your camping gear along. The nearby hotels are a bit away from
    the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you won't find many other paddling places. This river system has
a few good paddling sections and the Rangely to Green River section is one of them. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often easier than elsewhere, so don't forget that many runs in this state are very easy. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come. The nature scenery of Utah and the cool fresh water attract people  
from near and far.
