boating-tubing/kayaking the ogden river - July 30, 2026

This time, we will float the Rainbow Gardens, Urban section and if people are up for it to the confluence of the Weber and Ogden River. We will tub Ogden River. The rainbow gardens is a class III. It is 1.8 miles. Lots of maneuvering is required. The Urban section is a little more mellow. It is a Class II+. This section of the river is a fantastic stretch of river to get on when you don't have the time to travel. From Loren Farr Park in Ogden, UT, to the Crystal Wave behind Walmart on 20th street, this 1.5 mile section. Popular surf wave around Gramercy street bridge. Crystal Wave below Wall Avenue. Bring your own tubs/kayaks and lifejackets. Wear study shoes. This is a popular section for fishing and beware of fishhooks. You can rent tubs from WSU. July 30 5 PM. Meet at Walmart on 21st Street. Registered with me so that I know you are coming and we can plan on the shuttle.
