River: Virgin River
Segment: Bloomington
Flow: 400 cfs
Date: April, 2000
Class: II
Paddler: Georgi Hartlmaier
Description: This is 1/2 mi downstream of the fish barrier dam. The Bloomington run is deceptively long, and a noon start on low water will mean a sunset arrival at the I-15 bridge, not a recommended take-out. Allow 2-3 hours more to reach the Virgin River Gorge recreation area take-out. In the meantime, kick back and enjoy the scenery.
