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 nature scenery of Park County County and the playfulness of the water beats anything. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. This stretch of Clarks Fork Yellowstone River in Wyoming is 4.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class V+ section. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. On this section you do get some distance, you can easily run it
    on an afternoon. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. The beauty of the Absaroka Range is a great plus for this river. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations
in advance you're all set. Clarks Fork Yellowstone River doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Stix and Stones section is the only one.
