Take Out

This take-out site on Clear Creek in Sevier County, Utah provides access to a significant whitewater section of a large river system. Clear Creek is a substantial waterway with a total length of nearly 94 miles and a significant elevation drop of over 3000 feet, creating dynamic whitewater conditions throughout much of its course. The creek drains an area of over 1000 square miles and maintains an average flow of approximately 188 cubic feet per second, with an average gradient of 34.1 feet per mile, indicating consistent and challenging rapids for much of the river.

The take-out location at coordinates 38.58100000, -112.37200000 serves as an exit point for paddlers completing whitewater runs on Clear Creek. Given the creek's classification as a large river (Stream Order 7) with substantial gradient and flow rate, this access point is most suitable for experienced whitewater kayakers and canoeists. The average velocity of 2.56 feet per second combined with the steep terrain suggests continuous whitewater sections that require solid paddling skills and knowledge of whitewater hazards.

Paddlers using this take-out should be prepared for fast-moving water and the technical challenges associated with a creek that drops significantly over its course. The remote location in Sevier County means that services and amenities may be limited in the immediate area. This access point is best used as part of a planned whitewater paddling trip rather than a casual day-use facility.
