• Shore fishing is easiest along the eastern shoreline, by gravel roads from Utah Highway 72
• Float tubes can work well when the wind is light

Whirling disease: the parasite that causes it is known to occur in Forsyth Reservoir. Clean mud from your waders after fishing and let them dry completely before wading somewhere else. Don't take fish or fish parts from this reservoir to other waters.

For more fishing information, see the Division of Wildlife Resources' Fish UTAH app.

Vehicles and parking

• Every vehicle that enters the park pays a fee.
• At the developed campgrounds, a campsite takes no more than two vehicles, if there is room and the site stays within its 8-person limit. The primitive campgrounds have no strict vehicle limit per site unless the campground hits maximum capacity. Check with the venue before you go. A vehicle with a camper or RV is a camping unit, not an extra vehicle.
• If you tow a trailer, most sites have no room for an extra vehicle. Call the park at (435) 738-2326 with any extra-vehicle question.
• If there is no room on your site, park extra vehicles and boats in the upper parking lots above the boat ramp, near the park headquarters and Mountain View Campground.
• Don't park on the road where it creates a hazard, or on the grass or any area not designated for vehicles; move to one of the large parking lots.
• Each cabin has room for two vehicles, and both are charged when you reserve.

Quiet hours and pets

• At Indian Bay, Rabbit Gulch, Juniper Point and Knight Hollow, all generators and music are off from 10 PM to 7 AM.
• Pets are allowed in the park. Cabins allow no pets or smoking. Check with the venue before you go.

Check-in and water

• Cabins: check-in is 3 PM and check-out is noon.
• Water faucets throughout the main park area are safe to drink and use for cooking. A camp pass from anywhere in the park lets you fill your tanks at the main area at no extra cost. Annual and day-use passes cover normal personal water use but not filling large tanks or other large containers. The park doesn't supply water for residential use outside the park.

Boats, drones and supplies

• Boat inspection and washing, if you were on quagga-infested water: the main entrance booth is staffed May 1 to October 1. In the off-season, call (435) 738-2326 Monday through Friday several days ahead to make an appointment; the office is staffed 8–9 AM.

On the water

• Everyone wears the life jacket in designated whitewater areas, while using inflatable kayaks or stand-up paddleboards, and while swimming. You may also wear it in calm sections.
• Many trips suit people who can't swim, but you must be able to kick in a direction, reach for a throw rope or raft, and help a rescuer pull you back into the raft. Talk to a reservationist about which trip fits.
• Ask your guide before sliding off the raft, and never jump or dive off it.
• Hikes are optional, and most are shorter than two miles.

Water and weather

• Snowmelt-fed rivers tend to be cold (about 50 degrees F) in spring and warm up as summer goes on. Trips in May and early June are more likely to be cool, with more chance of rain and wind.
• Wool and synthetic layers keep their warmth when wet; cotton will not.
• Low water: variable water levels have put Full and Lower San Juan trips at risk of cancellation within one to two weeks of launch. If a trip is cancelled for low water, you can take a full refund or join a replacement trip such as Labyrinth Canyon or Desolation Canyon.
• The outfitter may also cancel for river or weather conditions or too few reservations, with a full refund.

Plan your arrival

• Plan to arrive the day before your trip. Inside 90 days of the trip, the outfitter can't refund cancellations for illness, injury or late arrivals caused by travel delays.

What to leave behind

• Don't bring personal watercraft (SUPs, kayaks, pack rafts) without approval from the office, glass-bottled drinks, radios, speakers, firearms or pets.
• Leave expensive jewelry, watches and electronics at home. The outfitter's insurance won't cover them if lost; a waterproof, floating case helps if you bring a phone.
• Alcohol: Blanding is a dry town, so buy alcohol before you arrive. Bring cans or boxed wine, not glass, and mark them. In Utah, wine and liquor are not sold after 7:00 p.m., before 11:00 a.m., or on Sundays and holidays.

Food and tips

• For a dietary restriction or food allergy, return your guest data sheet at least 30 days before your trip.
• Tipping guides is expected. Give cash or a check made out to your Trip Leader, not to Holiday; many leaders also take Venmo.

To confirm your seat, a $400 per person deposit is due within 48 hours of placing a hold; full payment is due 90 days before the trip.

Cancel more than 90 days before the trip for a refund less a $200 service charge per person.

Cancellations within 90 days of the trip are non-refundable.

• Private trips: groups of 16 and up can book a private charter. Most trips need at least 16 people for a charter, and the outfitter lists a private San Juan River trip for a group of 16.
• Charter payments: the deposit is due within 14 days of holding the trip, and full payment is due 90 days before. Both payments are non-refundable. If the charter minimum isn't met, the regular cancellation policy applies.
• Group size: trips are generally limited to 24 guests.
• Friends and family on one trip: after you book, call the office so reservationists can note your friends' names.
• How to request: talk to a reservationist or visit the outfitter's custom charter trips page.

• One day on the Green River: 8 miles through lower Gray Canyon, with Class I and II rapids. Difficulty is beginner.
• Runs Memorial Day to Labor Day, or on request.
• Meet at 9:00 a.m. Mountain Time at Holiday’s Green River, Utah, headquarters, east of the Green River Bridge on the north side of Main Street, across from the Motel 6 and behind the Comfort Inn.
• Guides give you a small day bag, then vans drive about 45 minutes along the river to the Nefertiti Boat Ramp, 20 miles north of the town of Green River. Nefertiti Rapid starts the trip, and the next few miles are calm, good for swimming and playing with inflatable kayaks.
• Lunch is on a sandy beach about halfway, with a short walk to thousand-year-old petroglyphs. Three or four more miles of splashy rapids follow.
• The trip ends at Swasey’s Boat Ramp, where the river leaves Gray Canyon. A 20-minute drive takes you back to the warehouse.
• If time permits, the group may stop at the mouth of the Price River to see Fremont rock art.
• Included: guides, a riverside lunch prepared by the guides, a life jacket, small day bags, and transportation to and from the river.
• This is a sample itinerary. Weather, river flows and the group’s interests change each trip.

• Holiday provides a U.S. Coast Guard–approved Type V life jacket (PFD, a personal flotation device) for every guest.
• You may bring your own Type V life jacket to the meeting point; the operations manager or trip leader decides whether you can use it. Your own Type III paddling life jackets aren’t allowed on this kind of trip.
• You must fit into the life jacket: chest or belly size up to 52 inches, and a minimum weight of 50 lbs.
• Choose a seat on an oar raft, where a guide rows and one raft typically carries up to five passengers, or take a turn in an inflatable kayak. Tell Holiday ahead if you want a kayak turn; use in rapids is up to the trip leader.

More information: https://www.bikeraft.com/faqs/

• Everyone wears the life jacket in designated whitewater areas, while using inflatable kayaks, and while swimming. You may also wear it in the calm sections.
• Many Holiday trips suit people who can’t swim; ask a reservationist whether this one suits you. You must be able to do basic self-rescue in the water: kick in a direction, reach for a throw rope or raft, and help a rescuer pull you back into the raft.
• You must be able to get on and off the boats, including onto uneven, steep, muddy, sandy or rocky ground.
• You must be able to grip ropes and straps to hold on in rapids, and to understand and follow verbal and non-verbal instructions.
• Ask your guide before sliding off the raft to swim, and never jump or dive off it.
• Leave jewelry and other small valuables behind; rings can get pulled off while getting in and out of the rafts.
• Holiday can’t take responsibility for cameras lost or damaged on the trip; a waterproof case helps.
• Mosquitoes and deer flies are the most common bugs; repellent and light long sleeves and pants help.

Holiday may cancel a trip for river or weather conditions or too few reservations; if it does, you get a full refund.

• Kayak choice: one-person or two-person inflatable kayaks, which are easy to handle.
• Life jackets (PFDs, personal flotation devices): the outfitter provides inspected life jackets in sizes from toddler and kids through extra small to XXXL adult.
• Cold weather: splash jackets and wet suits can be provided in cold weather and cold water trips.
• Weight restrictions may apply; call with any specific questions.
• Prefer to go without a guide? Self-guided kayaking is a separate trip in the same kind of inflatable kayak, departing daily starting at 10:00 a.m.

More information: https://proraftingtours.com/outdoor-adventures/river-trips/international/united-states/utah/provo-river/

• Life jackets: Utah law requires every person on the Provo River to wear a US Coast Guard-approved life jacket at all times. Wear the outfitter's PFD at all times in and near the water.
• Safety talk: guides give a safety talk before the trip and fit your life jacket and helmet. Arrive at the meeting location on time for the fitting and the talk, and follow your guide's instructions.
• Cold water: the Provo River is 45°F year-round because it flows from the bottom of the Deer Creek reservoir.
• Experience: the outfitter calls the dam-controlled Provo River a perfect beginners' and training river and says kayaks are fun for active paddlers. It is narrow with quick turns and some man-made obstructions.
• Swimming: the life jacket is designed to float you face up, and guides show you how to position yourself if you swim.
• Fitness: you need to get in and out of an inflatable kayak, walk on slippery and uneven surfaces and hold on with one hand. Guests with medical conditions, including pregnancy, should have a doctor's approval before taking a trip.
• Busy times: traffic is highest between 10am and 5pm, especially Saturdays in June, July and August. Weekdays are quieter.
• Alcohol and drugs: no drugs or other chemical substances before or during the trip. Moderate alcohol you buy and bring yourself is allowed only after a day trip is over.

• Self-guided trips: you and your group paddle your own raft down the same 5.5-mile stretch in about 2–2.5 hours, with no guide in the boat. They suit active groups. Pro Rafting Tours provides the rafts, paddles, safety gear and shuttle, gets you to the launch area, helps you launch and meets you at the take-out
• The Wildwood Railroad Trestle, roughly two-thirds of the way down, is considered the river's most significant hazard: its angled support pillars can trap an inflatable raft against the wood. If you aren't a proficient paddler with strong self-rescue skills, the company highly recommends a guided trip
• June has higher water, and the company calls guided rafting the best option then
• Rafts are HazardPlay 2–4 person rafts, the company's own brand
• Life jackets come in sizes from toddler and youth to extra small through XXXL adult, and are included with every trip
• You can rent a waterproof dry bag that clips to your raft; reserve it at check-out
