The Escalante River in Southern Utah provides for a wonderful float trip from the upper Escalante region to Lake Powell. The problem is that it rarely has enough water. At the occasional very high flow, rafts run the river but the boat of choice for the more standard conditions is an inflatable canoe, or kayak that can function at 100 to 200 cubic feet per second (cfs). The route starts where Highway 12 crosses the river, between the towns of Escalante and Boulder, and ends 75 to 100 miles downriver depending upon where you take-out. We chose to have a motorboat pickup on Lake Powell but there are ways to exit from side canyons.
