Muddy River Trip
| Reporter | Daniel Cottam |
| Gauge Reading | 226 cfs at MUDDY CREEK NEAR EMERY, UT |
We ran the river on 6/7/19 at the level of 226 from Tomish Butte to the airstrip. With stops for lunch and a little carnage it took 5 hours and 45 minutes to run. We were in duckies and had a lot of beginners with us so it could have gone a lot quicker. The river peaks at Tomish Butte around 8am. So plan accordingly. It also tends to fall during the day so go prepared to walk if your trying a low water run. Low water runs have taken us 10 hours before and were so very painful with all the boats dragging over rocks all the time. Truly amazing scenery. The biggest planning for the trip is the shuttle which takes around 2 hours to complete. Road trip Ryan app has an excellent GPS way point map to get back there and to do the shuttle.
