27. GIVENS GULCH (UPPER &
LOWER) - 47.2 MILES
UPPER GIVENS GULCH
• Stay to the left around the island to
access both Givens Gulch campgrounds
that are located on a long river bench
• Upper is a little challenging for boat
parking, but offers a lot more cover than
the lower campground
• Lower is on the river bend flat after one of
the Smith’s “rapids”
• It’s the most significant rapid on the
whole river with flows below 350 cfs.
28. RATTLESNAKE (UPPER &
LOWER) - 47.4 MILES
LOWER GIVENS GULCH
LOWER RATTLESNAKE
• Last boat camps before Eden Bridge
• Upper Rattlesnake is just around the
bend from Lower Givens Gulch
• It has very limited tree coverage but a cliff
wall just across the water
• There are some decent fishing
opportunities behind the faster water and
along the cliff’s edge
• Lower Rattlesnake has zero tree
coverage, it is just an open field of grasses
and rocks
• There is still a nice cliff to look at across
the river
• Rattlesnake campgrounds have their
name for a reason, but we have never seen
any snakes there
29. EDEN BRIDGE - 58.9 MILES
• Last takeout for the permitted section of
the river
• Be ready for a fast pull in just before the
bridge
• If you pass the bridge, you have gone too far
