Access is a little more widely spaced on the Middle Provo. Most of this section has levees down both sides with a two-track road on top, so walking up and down the river is pleasant. The dikes will be removed during the reconstruction, but access will be improved with more parking, restrooms and trails. The streambed of the Middle is composed of slippery cobble rock, which can be difficult to walk on in low flows, not to mention high water. The Lower Provo has many turnouts closely spaced along US 189, but be very careful when entering back onto the highway.
Traffic is highway speed and often hard to see.
This section generally wades easily, but can still be very intimidating when the water is high. The trestle access is particularly nice when the river is too high to cross, as the old bridge gives you access to the far bank. When to Go Morning midge fishing on the Lower Provo during February and March is usually best before the sun hits or during overcast conditions. Dress for cold weather. Blue-wings show up in late March on the Lower Provo and early April on the Middle Provo.
