Onion Creek Rapids is a rapid on the Colorado River's Moab Daily section in Grand County, Utah, between Hittle Bottom Landing and Lower Onion Creek Landing.
The falls
The Moab Daily section as a whole ranges from Class I to Class III depending on season and water level; a class specific to Onion Creek Rapid on its own has not been found.
Getting there
Hittle Bottom Landing lies upstream of the rapid, with Lower Onion Creek Landing just below it and Take-Out Beach Landing further downstream. Lower Onion Creek serves both as a river landing and as a fee campground, giving boaters a place to camp close to the rapid. The Bureau of Land Management manages this stretch of the Colorado River, at an elevation of about 4,069 feet where the rapid sits, roughly 15.1 miles northeast of Moab and about 49.2 miles southwest of Grand Junction, Colorado.
On site
Rapid-specific flow range, gauge name, portage route, scouting notes and hazards are not documented. No World Waterfall Database or American Whitewater page has been found for this rapid on its own; the Moab Daily map is the only record located.
