Provo

Ran from Deer Creek Dam to Mt. Timpanogos Park, around 9.5 miles. I hadn't been in a boat in a year, and just wanted to get on something, and I enjoyed it for what it was. From the putin to the diversion dam was mellow cruisy class I, not too bony. Lot's of fishermen, and some paddleboarders and fishing rafts. The diversion dam creates a pretty big pond, and you have lots of spots to get out on the left and portage along the trail. Super easy portage. Immediately below the dam the character changes and it's fairly tight class II/III with a lot of wood. In the first rapid there's a nearly riverwide strainer with about a 3 foot wide channel on the right. There's wood in play in several of the other rapids as well. At this level everything was eddy/boat scoutable, but moves were tough to make to dodge wood and not get stuck. It's the sort of ELF level where you're planning your line based on what rocks you're going to bounce off of... Definitely worth doing if you're a solid boater and just want to get in a boat. At these flows my favorite rapids were after Bridal Veil Falls Park. In the park was very bony and a little manky, but it was better in the later rapids.

Ran this this evening at 420 CFS. Right at bridalveil falls there was an avalanche and debris are coving the river with the river flowing through a tunnel.  Be careful!!! This tunnel is much like the secret tunnel from Avatar, if you go in you're probaly not coming out. At this level there were many eddies above it so none of us had any trouble avoiding it. Until it melts it will need to be portaged. There was also a large amount of wood in the debris too so be carful downstream after it melts.

Besides that the run was very fun. All the wood was avoidable and the rapids were fun and at this level none were too pushy!

Low Flow Bridal Veil. If you know where to look and look at the gauges daily you can get enough water on certian days. Yes, it is scraping down, Take your rock boat. but its better than sitting on the couch. The gauge information I am refering to is located here;

BV Gauge (This is a link)

There are two of the gauges you want to look at:

The Murdock CUWCD Spill-Over-The-Weir

and

800 North Provo River Aqueduct Flow.

Add those two together plus  20cfs and you have the flow for BV.

yesterday was around 230cfs which is about the minimum I would run it. I have run it lower, as Randy Nate would say 'The rocks are wet'. And there was lots of wood, most have routes around but things are always movng in there..

Have fun, be safe!

Great run when there's actually enough flow. I typically tube this stretch and have a blast. The best rapids are right through Bridal Veil Falls Park.

the town section was running 1000 and we could not get our boats underneath the bridge at canyon glen park.
No logs present

There is no wood blocking flows. However one of the bridges is very low and we had to jump out of our boat to go under it. You could roll as well but we were in sit on top whitewater kayaks.
