If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more forgiving, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less demanding. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. This is the only paddling section along Snow River. This section
