Stopped by this access site driving through the Professor Valley.

ran this 11/23/16 at ~3500cfs in a paddlecat from lower onion creek to takeout beach, took about 3 1/2 hours for this 11 mile stretch. mostly flat water, a few riffles and small wave trains, looks like one hole to avoid at higher water. a nice scenic float trip, saw a bald eagle and great blue heron, but no other people on the river.

There is a large ramp/takeout here: 38.661755,-109.500685 called 'Takeout Beach.' It is a good spot to get out before the slack water above Moab.

There is a good put-in/takeout here: 38.695257,-109.409914 just above Rocky Rapids.
