Wyoming whitewater - Clarks Fork Yellowstone River, Absaroka Range, Park County County

Park County county, Stix and Stones section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS V+     4.5 miles
  The wonderful Park County County scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream have people coming here. The average Wyoming whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, it's good length for a morning trip. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before
    you come because it is a very popular destination. A good workout and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. This is the only paddling stretch along Clarks Fork Yellowstone River. This stretch
of Clarks Fork Yellowstone River in Park County County is 4.5 miles long and is a class V+ section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The river winds through the Absaroka Range and you get great scenery.
