Us Highway 191 To 1.1 Miles Downstream river run
Us Highway 191 To 1.1 Miles Downstream
The segment of the river from US Highway 191 to 1.1 miles downstream is approximately 10 miles long. It features several notable rapids, including House Rock, Black Rock, and Hance Rapid. Hance Rapid is the biggest and most challenging rapid on this section of the river.
Anyone planning to raft on the Whitewater River Run must obtain a permit from the National Park Service. The number of permits issued is limited, and reservations must be made well in advance. Rafters must follow specific regulations, such as packing out all trash and using portable toilets.
It is important for rafters to be prepared for the Whitewater River Run, as the rapids can be challenging and dangerous. All rafters are required to wear a personal flotation device (PFD) and a helmet while on the river.
Plan your run down to the hour

Whitewater safety
- Check the flow before you run
- Use the linked-gauge card and Regional Flow panel above. Class ratings change with flow -- a Class III at low water can become Class IV+ at high water.
- Know your skill ceiling
- Pick runs comfortably below your ceiling. Cold-water and big-water runs raise the consequences of any mistake.
- Wear the right gear
- Helmet, PFD, drysuit / wetsuit when water is below 60°F. Throw bag, knife, and whistle on your person, not in the boat.
- Scout, set safety, and run with a team
- Scout new rapids on foot, set safety with throw bags above the consequence pool, and run with at least one other competent paddler.
- Respect the river
- Strainers, undercuts, low-head dams, and wood can kill at any class rating. When in doubt, portage.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app
Save Us Highway 191 To 1.1 Miles Downstream as a favorite, set a discharge threshold (e.g. "alert me when flow hits 600 cfs"), and the iOS app pushes the moment the linked gauge crosses.
