The natural beauty of Fremont County and the cool fresh water attract people from near and
    far. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good spots for that around here. This is a pretty decent length section,
suitable for an afternoon trip. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. There are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
