The Chute - Tomsich Butte To Hidden Splender


When the water is flowing this is one of the best kayak and IK floats in the entire state of Utah.  It may not be big water with Class III to IV holes and waves but the scenery and experience is incomparable.  When the chute cuts through the reef you are floating between sheer sandstone walls.  Keep an eye out for possible wood hazards but for the most part this is a great class II cruiser.

Suggested river levels for paddling this section of the Muddy Creek are between a bare minimum of 180cfs and a high of 700cfs. River conditions sourced from USGS 09330500, the Muddy Creek Near Emery Remember only watercraft are permitted at The Chute - Tomsich Butte to Hidden Splender.
