WELCOME TO THE NEW SITE - I have just started to upload the old lame out of date main website to this Wiki so stay tuned. This site will initially grow from the content I move over from the old website, but the future of the UWC website is up to YOU. Anyone can edit and update this website. We are counting on UWC members and friends to keep this site updated. If you don't know what a Wiki is, check out this Information about a Wiki. If you want to play around and get use to editing a Wiki, please try the Sandbox, which will let you play around with editing without messing up a real site web page. Here is some more help in Help for Starting a new Page Thanks in advance for your help at making this website the most up to date information on boating and boaters in the Wasatch Front. - Mike Dege, soon to be ex-UWC webmaster.

Utah Whitewater Club - We are a group of enthusiastic paddlers dedicated to promoting the sport of canoeing, kayaking, and rafting. Formed in Salt Lake City in 1991 by a small but persistent group of local paddlers, the UWC now has membership into the hundreds. Activities and interests of the club include instruction, safety, organized trips, river issue advocacy, and having fun.

Additionally, a sophisticated model is run to provided 10-day deterministic forecast for many gages. You can know the flow before you head to the river.
