About
Logan River, Utah — 1820s-50s Fur Trade, 1859 Logan Settlement, 1900-1912 Stokes Dam, 1990s-2010s Restoration 50-mi. Through Cache County's narrow canyon and into the agricultural valley below, the Logan River drops 45 miles from the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest to its confluence with the Bear River. The upper canyon section runs Class I-II through tight rock walls alongside the Logan Canyon Scenic Byway, while the lower canyon opens into Class I water as the valley widens. Below the canyon mouth, the river crosses Cache Valley farmland at a gentler gradient before joining the Bear. At 280 CFS average with an optimal range of 100-600, the Logan responds to snowmelt and irrigation demands tracked at USGS gauge 10109000. Cache Valley Anglers operates on this system, focusing on the canyon reaches where the gradient and forest cover create more consistent fishing conditions.
River conditions are community-verified. CFS ranges, difficulty ratings, and access points may not reflect every flow level or seasonal change. Always check current conditions, scout unfamiliar rapids, and paddle within your skill level.
