Wheaton River Attributes:
- Exciting class II+ white water on the upper river that can be done as a day trip
- Multi-day hiking accessible from the upper portions of the river
- A very scenic river that travels through a tight valley with mountains on both sides
- Road accessible put-in, yet little river traffic due to shortness of route and possibility of being wind bound on Bennett Lake
- One challenging class III-IV rapid that needs to be portaged
- Log jams have been forming at the rapids recently so this area must be carefully scouted
- Paddle on Bennett Lake is very beautiful, but winds are common ( we carry spray decks for the canoes to help deal with waves)
The Wheaton River is an Ideal Choice For:
- Intermediate/advanced paddlers ( due to numerous log jams and sweepers) on a budget or those searching for a full wilderness experience compressed into only 3 days
