The I-70 to Tomsich Butte section of the Green River in Utah is a popular rafting destination, offering Class II and III rapids suitable for beginners and intermediate paddlers. The best time to float this section is during the spring and early summer, when the water levels are highest and the rapids are most exciting. The typical flow for this section is around 2,500 to 5,000 cubic feet per second. Some notable rapids include Little Hole, Upper and Lower Red Creek Rapids, and Horseshoe Bend. It is important to be aware of potential hazards such as strainers and sweepers, as well as the possibility of high winds.
