kayak/canoe - paddling on provo river - June 26, 2010

Paddling Kayaks/Canoes - Saturday, June 26. Join us for a Class 1/NTD paddling trip on the Provo River from below Deer Crest dam to Vivian Park on Saturday, June 26. Meet at 9:30 a.m. at the Maverick gas station on the west side of Main Street - it is just as you enter Heber City on Route 40 from the north (from I-80) or at the put in at 10. Drive to put in below the dam and drop off gear. Run a shuttle to Vivian Park, drop off vehicles and return to put in. Start first run about 10:30 and finish at Vivian Park around noon. Stop for a picnic lunch at the park and then do another shuttle and make a second run. This second run is optional. Those making the second run will finish at Vivian Park around 3:30 or 4 p.m., load up and make a final shuttle run back to put in and then head on home. This is a Class 1/NTD section of river but has one important point going under the railroad bridge where it is critical to have your kayak/canoe lined up parallel to the bridge abutments. A safety briefing before the run will explain navigating this point on the river and also general conditions along the route.
