The Whitewater River Run from Deer Creek Crossing to just below the confluence with Beaver Creek in California is a popular destination for whitewater enthusiasts. The ideal streamflow range for this segment is between 800-2000 cfs, as it provides Class III and IV rapids, making it a challenging run for experienced kayakers and rafters.

The segment mileage of this run is approximately six miles, with specific river rapids and obstacles that include Deer Creek Falls, The Slot, and Pinball. Deer Creek Falls is a Class IV rapid that requires precise maneuvering through a narrow channel, while The Slot is a Class III rapid that features a tight squeeze between two boulders. Pinball is another Class III rapid that features multiple boulders that require skillful navigation.

There are specific regulations to the area, including a permit requirement from the Bureau of Land Management for groups of 15 or more and a mandatory safety briefing before departing. Additionally, there are restrictions on camping along the riverbank and a pack-it-in, pack-it-out policy for all trash.
