Trip Report

There is a great wilderness stretch above the reservoire for packrafting. In 2017, I hiked up to the confluence of Oweep Creek to paddle a few miles through a box canyon. At 600 cfs, this was class III to IV whitewater features, but had several wood portages. At the base of the box and right above the reservoir, the river braids with lots of wood. I recommend taking out above here. Above the Oweep tributary, both main branches are in long box canyons and are steep with frequent wood across the streams.
