The Indian Creek of Utah is a 7.5-mile long river run that attracts paddlers of all abilities. The ideal streamflow range for this run is between 300 to 1000 cfs, with the best time to go being in the spring and early summer. The class rating for this section of the river is class III to IV and contains several challenging obstacles, including the "Green Monster," "Beehive," and "Leap of Faith" rapids.
The Indian Creek run is divided into two segments, with the upper segment being around 2.5 miles and containing most of the rapids, while the lower section has more gentle rapids and is around 5 miles long. The run requires a shuttle due to the one-way nature of the river, and caution should be taken when paddling close to the river banks as there are several strainers on the river.
Specific regulations for this area include obtaining a permit from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to access the river. The permit is free, and there is a limit of 20 people per day on the river. Additionally, all paddlers are required to wear a personal flotation device (PFD) and carry a throw rope. It is also recommended to check the current weather and streamflow conditions before embarking on the run.
Overall, the Indian Creek river run offers a challenging and exciting paddling experience for those seeking a thrilling adventure in the heart of Utah's beautiful landscape.
