River
Running
|
|
|
From just below the dam to a take
out seven miles downstream at Little Hole, the clear blue waters
of the Green River tumble beneath canyon walls providing some
pleasant river running opportunities in a beautiful setting. This
popular stretch of river moves swiftly with some easy Class
1 and 2 rapids. It can
be handled safely by moderately competent beginners in a raft
or dory. Those desiring to make the trip in a canoe or kayak should
have some experience. The trip takes about 2 to 2-1/2 hours, depending
on water flow. There are no campsites, but there are areas to
stop for a picnic lunch.
