Fishermen wishing to float the river without the benefit of a guide would find the rafts with rowing frames to be very advantageous. The frame make them a bit more maneuverable, and can be controlled by one man while the others are fishing.
Raft Rentals
The seven mile stretch of the Green River through Red Canyon is
a perfect run for beginners and people wishing to experience the river on their
own. It is just the thing for groups and families to get out and have a fun day
added to their vacation. Rafts are rented standard with a paddle for each
individual wishing one, a bail bucket, and life jackets for each person.

Recently we have been able to offer a Two or a Three man fishing
Pontoon from Dave Scadden. They have fishing platforms for both front and back
fishermen to stand on.
We've got several new
self-bailer 8 man rafts to offer for
This season. They act like Pontoon boats with their
high bottom design.
Another new item for daily rental is a drift boat made by Hog Island. It is a bit more technical for a more experienced person at the oars, but offers the most comfortable way to float fish the river.
Please
keep in mind as you float the Green river, the power of water is incredible and
it can let you know very easy if you are not careful and respectful of it. This
hazard is easy to miss but I believe that beginners have such a fun time
bouncing off some of these rocks, they get into trouble by doing it on purpose.
However, there are a few mild looking boulders
that are definitely boat eaters.
Accessories that come with each rental are:
 |
Life Jacket for each individual (Life jackets are required) |
|
Bail Buckets |
|
Paddle for each individual if desired |
|
Instructions as needed |
We have several sizes of rafts to fit the needs of floaters from
one man pontoons, inflatable two man kayaks, up to a 10 man raft.
One thing renters need to be aware of is car shuttles. We can tie a raft
on the car and you can launch yourself and we shuttle your car for $42.00. If
you have two cars you can do your own shuttle which takes about 45 minutes to
get back to the boat at the launch site. On the new Star 8 Man rafts due to
their size it might be best to use a trailer for your shuttles. A convenient way is to leave your
vehicle at our store and we launch you and the raft, then pick you up at
Little Hole when the float is completed. This Launch & Pickup Shuttle runs
$80.00.
