The entire length of Cow Creek passes through private property. I submit that whitewater enthusiasts look elsewhere for a suitable stream.

For canoe or Kayak you'll need water just after a large flood.  Warning - all private property in this section, several ranchers have fenced across the riverl Says dee     The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often easier than in other states, so don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are suitable for beginners.
