Weber River Utah

The Weber River is a 125 mile long river that runs from northern Utah into the Great Salt Lake. The Weber River is famous for its rapids and float tours. These tours range from regular tubes, to white water rafts, to kayaks. I had the pleasure of kayaking 8 miles down a stretch of rapids and it was a thrilling experience. While I was kayaking, my group and I passed by hundreds of people relaxing in tubes floating down the less rough parts of the river. The river is also a prime trout fishing spot. As I kayaked down the river, flies were laying eggs on the river. I even saw a few trout come up to the surface and eat some of the flies. Much like our Delaware River trip, being on the river and experiencing the feeling of moving with the current is a great way to learn more about the river, its role in surrounding society, and its history.
