The lower Ogden River run in Utah is a Class II-III stretch of water that is best tackled between April and June, when the flow rate is between 1,000 and 3,000 CFS. The river is characterized by several popular rapids, including Three Forks, Bus Eater, and Bridge Rapid. The most challenging section of the run is the last mile, which features several Class III drops and narrow channels. The river is generally free of obstacles, but boaters should be aware of possible strainers and sweepers. Overall, this run is best suited for intermediate paddlers with some experience in rapids.
