1.5 Miles Above Confluence Of Left And Right Creek On Left Prong To Confluence Of Left And Right Prongs Dix Creek
The Whitewater River Run is rated as a Class III-IV, which means it is suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers. This run has several challenging rapids and obstacles, including the "S-Turn" and "Narrows" rapids, which require precise maneuvering and a good understanding of the river.
There are specific regulations in place for the Whitewater River Run, including the requirement for all boaters to wear a personal flotation device (PFD) at all times. Additionally, boaters are not allowed to enter the river before sunrise or after sunset and must take all necessary precautions to prevent the spread of invasive species.
Overall, the Whitewater River Run is an exciting and challenging destination for experienced paddlers. However, it is important to check the streamflow levels and regulations before embarking on this adventure.

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.
