Chevelon Creek is NOT a good place for rafting. Only the 13 miles upstream of Chevelon Canyon Lake holds permanent flow, but it lies within a deep remote canyon and no easy access to the upper portion.

However, this section of creek is great fishing, but very remote and difficult to hike into. Note the special regulations that require artificial fly and lure and only a 2 fish daily bag limit.

Pets are allowed, but must be kept on a leash at all times (Forest Service regulation), but not a great place to take a pet.
