I ran across a couple of websites touting the benefits and caution of going down the Price River from Woodside to the Green River. I figured there was interest if people knew about it. Apparently at least a couple of people knew and were interested enough to run it and devote webpages to it. I love it.

I knew there is potential danger around water but I didn't think the Price River was this treacherous but we should always be cautious especially in the outdoors and around water. This website has also provided the following link:

Not much information available on cubic feet per second and such. Like the author says early summer is likely the best time. Always look north or west for storms that may cause flooding on the Price River. When it comes, it comes BIG. According to this graph there have been six major floods this year.

We ran this at a level around 795 CFS. Very fun overnight duckie trip, or a LONG day trip. The
little big drop had quite a bit of wood reaching from river right to river center. Most of our group portaged, one ran the small squeeze on river left. Scout and portage are river left Very active, very fun trip. Most rocks were covered at this level. |
