Colorado

This low flow is good to go. We did it a bit over 1,500 cfs. There's a channel and the views are amazing. To do this float, 3 miles, we do a bike shuttle. We drop all equipment off at the Grandstaff Campground. Park at the takeout off Hey. 191 and then use the bike path to get back up to the campground. Lash the bike on a paddleboard and we are ON our way. Weather was great too - pretty much had this entire stretch to ourselves. Did it 2 days in a row. Will definitely be back. One of the most majestic sections near Moab with easy access!

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.
