01. Aspen Acres to North New Lane

One of the more scenic rivers in northern Utah. The run rates Class II - III- with some wood avoidance and is +/- 9 miles in length. Beautiful. Ideal for inflatables and light weight kayaks. Two mandatory portages. Several runnable drops. Ideal level 600 cfs, runnable down to ~450 CFS and 1000+ CFS is rowdy. River Access is an issue.  There are threats to this river access from Private Landowners. Although unsigned, there is a DNR river access through the Aspen Acres (Shoshone Rd) green gate. Park in the large dirt pull out on the north side of the road and hike down to the river. This launch is just above where Smith and Morehouse enters and increases the size of the Weber. The New Lane Road takeout is just downstream from a dam that diverts 3/4 of the river into a canal.

Access to the river must be through public access points or private with permission from the land owner.  Please obey trespassing signage.
