STREAMFLOW: 5 CFS

Class IV River Run

The Hell Dive Canyon segment of the Whitewater River Run in Utah is a thrilling adventure for experienced white water rafters. The ideal streamflow range for this segment is between 1,500 and 3,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). The class rating for this segment is a Class IV, meaning the rapids are intense and require advanced maneuvering skills. The segment is approximately 7.5 miles long, starting at the end of segment 30 and ending at the beginning of segment 31.

One of the most challenging rapids in this segment is called Hell Hole, which is a narrow and technical rapid with a steep drop. Another notable obstacle is the Squeezebox, which requires precise navigation through a narrow channel between rocks. The rapids in this segment are continuous and can be physically demanding, making it important for rafters to be in good physical shape.

Specific regulations for this area require all boaters to wear personal flotation devices, and children under the age of 13 must wear a helmet. Commercial guides must also hold a permit from the Bureau of Land Management to operate in this area.
