Summary
Nine Mile Creek is a popular whitewater river run in Utah. The ideal streamflow range for this stretch of the river is between 400 and 700 cfs. Anything below 400 cfs may be too low and result in scraping over rocks, while anything above 700 cfs may be too high and result in dangerous rapids. The river is rated as a Class III to IV depending on the water levels.
The segment mileage for the Nine Mile Creek run is around 4 miles. The river features several rapids, including "The Squeeze," a narrow and rocky channel; "The Slot," a narrow chute with a drop; and "The Toilet Bowl," a rapid with a circular current. There are also several boulder gardens and small waterfalls along the river.
The specific regulations to the area include the need for a permit to access the river. The permit can be obtained from the Bureau of Land Management, and visitors are required to follow Leave No Trace principles while on the river. Additionally, visitors should be aware of private property along the river and respect the landowners' property rights.
