HEADWATERS AT T39S, R9E TO CONFLUENCE WITH ESCALANTE RIVER
December 4, 2024
The Whitewater River Run in Utah is a challenging and exciting run for experienced paddlers. The ideal streamflow range for this run is between 200-400 cfs, with higher flows creating more difficult rapids. The run is classified as Class III-IV, with some sections reaching Class V during high water.
The segment mileage of the Whitewater River Run is approximately 25 miles, taking paddlers through scenic canyons and challenging rapids. Some of the specific rapids and obstacles along the run include The Narrows, where the river narrows and becomes more technical, as well as Halls Creek Rapid, a Class IV drop with a large boulder in the middle.
There are specific regulations to the area that paddlers must follow, including obtaining a permit from the Bureau of Land Management before entering the run. Additionally, all paddlers must wear a properly fitting life jacket and a helmet while on the river.
