What river do you run?
The Provo River between Deer Creek Resevoir and Nunns Park.

Is there a river closer to Park City, Salt Lake, or Provo?
No. The Provo River is the closest to all three locations

What is the water level throughout the summer?
We have high water from spring runoff through June. The water level stays consistent through the rest of the summer because it is regulated by two large resevoirs. (Deer Creek and Jordanelle)

What class of rapids do you have?
Class II whitewater on our main section and class III and IV on our lower section (open May 1 to June 30)

According to the International River Scale there are six difficulty classes:

Class I- Easy, fast moving water with riffles and small waves. Few Obstructions, all obvious and easily mised with little training.
Class II- Novice. Straightforward rapids with wide clear channels which are evident without scouting.
Class III- Intermediate. Rapids with moderate, irregular waves which may be difficult to avoid and which can swamp an open canoe. Complex Maneuvers required.
Class IV- Advanced. Intense, powerful but predictable rapids requiring precice boat handling in turbulent water. Scouting necessary for first time down.
Class V- Expert. Extremely long, obstructed, or very violent rapids which expose a paddler to added risk. Scouting is recommended but often impossible.
Class VI- Extreme and Exploratory. These runs have almost never been attempted and rescue may be impossible.

Can you accomodate large groups?
We can handle 100+ groups per trip. We usually run 4 trips a day. (10AM, 12PM, 2PM, and 4PM).
Please call for more information.

Are reservations necessary?
Yes. Especially with large groups and during holidays and weekends.

Can you take small children and seniors on the rafts?
Certainly. However, you may get wet at times.

How old do you have to be to tube or kayak the river by yourself?

Is the fishing good on the Provo?
The fishing is excellent! The river has been named one of the top ten trout streams in the country. Fishing season runs from April to October.

What is the weather like?
From May to October temperatures range from 70-95 degrees. Sunny and bright with no humidity and it hardly ever rains. Remember your sunscreen and lip gloss.

Will I get wet on a rafting trip?
It is unlikely you will get drinched. However, you should expect to get wet at times. The river is made almost entirely of water.

Should I bring a camera down the river?
Most visitors are comfortable bringing a camera. Consider bringing sealable bags or waterproof containers for electronics or other items you wish to remain dry.
