Paddling from the Strawberry dam down is no longer recommended. The upper reaches are choked with river wide strainers and beaver dams, not to mention angry anglers every 150ft. That said driving up the Strawberry river road from the Pinnacles/ Camelot resort area and floating the 20 mile section to Starvation reservoir proved delightful. Moderate class II-I @250 CFS. About 1/2 a dozen portages, one fence. Very pretty, clean, with scenery unlike most of Utah canyon country. Probably doable down to 200 with some scraping and good up to 750 CFS.
