Put in at Escalante bridge and take out at Bridgeport, six hours at 1,000 cfs. I am including photos here of the put ins and the old diversion structure (easy bypass in far left channel).

The river mileage quoted in the Falcon Guide is incorrect. From the put-in at Confluence Park in Delta, CO to the Hwy. 141 bridge at Whitewater, CO the distance is 44 river miles. If you use a lower common put-in for this trip at the Escalante Canyon bridge (Escalante Canyon Road off of Hwy 50), the distance down to Whitewater, CO is 29 river miles.
