PINE CREEK BOX SECTION

December 4, 2024

The Pine Creek Box Section of the Whitewater River in Utah is a challenging and exciting run for experienced kayakers and rafters. The ideal streamflow range for this section of the river is between 300 and 700 cubic feet per second (cfs). The Pine Creek Box Section is rated as a class IV-V, which indicates that it is a difficult run with significant hazards. The segment mileage of this section is approximately two miles.

The Pine Creek Box Section has several specific river rapids and obstacles, including the Entrance Rapid, the Box, the Slides, and the Resurrection Hole. These rapids are known for their steep drops, tight chutes, and powerful hydraulics. The Box is a particularly challenging rapid due to its narrow channel and large boulders.

There are several regulations to be aware of when running the Pine Creek Box Section. First and foremost, all participants are required to wear a US Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device (PFD). Additionally, all kayakers and rafters must have appropriate safety and rescue equipment, including helmets, throw ropes, and first aid kits. Finally, participants must be aware of private land that borders the river and must obtain permission before accessing or using any private property.
