Tomsich Butte

Tomsich Butte is a whitewater access point on Muddy Creek in Emery County, Utah. The creek is a medium-sized river with a significant gradient of 46.5 feet per mile and an elevation drop of 3,854 feet across its 82.83-mile length, making it suitable for whitewater paddling. With an average flow of 50.37 cubic feet per second and velocity of 1.62 feet per second, this section likely presents moderate to challenging current conditions typical of Utah's sandstone country waterways.

Paddlers accessing at Tomsich Butte should be prepared for fast-moving water with a steep gradient. The location sits in the upper portions of the Muddy Creek system with considerable distance to the river mouth, suggesting remote conditions and potentially limited infrastructure at the put-in. The drainage area of 410 square miles indicates a substantial watershed, and water levels may vary seasonally based on snowmelt and precipitation patterns common to the high desert region.
