YELLOWSTONE RIVER (SWIFT CREEK TO RESERVOIR)
River Runs • Kayaking • Whitewater
The Yellowstone River run, from Swift Creek to the reservoir, is a Class II-III river with scenic views of the Uinta Mountains. This section has some obstacles such as boulders and log jams, but they are easily navigated. The best time to float this section is in late spring or early summer, when the water levels are high and the rapids are more challenging. A flow rate of 1,500-2,000 cfs is recommended for a fun and safe trip. Overall, this is a great river run for intermediate paddlers looking for an exciting day on the water.
