About This Access Site
Rock Creek is a large river system in Duchesne County, Utah, spanning 56 miles with a significant elevation drop of 436 feet over its course. This Put In access point offers entry to a Class II-III whitewater section characterized by moderate gradient and consistent flow. The stream's 7.8 foot per mile average gradient and healthy average flow of approximately 50 cubic feet per second make it suitable for kayakers and canoeists seeking whitewater paddling opportunities in northeastern Utah.

Paddlers should be prepared for moving water with an average velocity of 2.12 feet per second and the typical hazards associated with whitewater rivers including strong currents and potential submerged obstacles. The moderate stream order and gradient suggest this section is best suited for intermediate to advanced paddlers with some whitewater experience. Water conditions are dynamic and can vary seasonally based on snowmelt and precipitation patterns typical of the Uinta Basin region.
