Our Vision
 

We strive to have a club that works diligently to promote our sport, by engaging all opportunities to bring new boaters into the club and then support them in their development while catering to all skill levels, with challenging activities for all. 

Who we are

We are a group of enthusiastic paddlers dedicated to promoting the sport of whitewater canoeing, kayaking, and rafting. Initially formed in Salt Lake City in 1991 by a small but persistent group of local paddlers, the UWC now has members statewide. Activities and interests of the club include instruction, safety, organized trips, river issue advocacy, and having fun. We are an ACA Paddle America Club and an American Whitewater Club Affiliate
