Trip Report

ReporterMark Mckinstry

My son and I ran it on 5/3/2014 at about 600cfs. We portaged downed trees at least 5-7 times, and snuck several others. Would be a fun calss II-III run except for all the wood. At higher flows you might get pushed into areas you don't want to be due to lack of eddies and blind corners. There was at least one drop with wood in it that was impossible to see from river level and could be a bad pin spot. This pin spot was upstream ~ 1.5 mile of takeout at Lower Provo River Campground. High flows will rearrange the wood in this river every year.
