Bear

Sulphur Camp to Hayden camp has a lot of wood and beaver dams. Hayden camp to Stillwater camp(5 mi) or East Fork camp (another 3.5 mi) would be the best stretches with a legal takeout. Above 1600 cfs is preferred; this usually means peak runoff (and therefore icy cold water). There is a lot of wood avoidance on creeks in the Uintas. East Fork to milepost 51.5 has been popular in the past, but the takeout involves a 1/4 mile hike up a steep hill on private land, and in 2011 there were reports of the landowner having a security guard at the takeout, especially if shuttle cars were parked there. The next legal takeout appears to be the Chalk Creek bridge, which is 10 miles down from MP 51.5. This section is said to have a number of barbed wire fences across the river, so it almost never gets done. Getting permission to take out on private land somewhere below MP51.5 would make the section below East Fork (fun class III wave trains for a few miles) doable again.
