CLASS II-III 2 miles
If you're coming from Sheridan it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. 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 lots of rivers here are not for beginners. This section of Clear Creek in Johnson County is 2 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-III section. There's camping available near Clear Creek. This
river system has a few good paddling sections and the 2 miles above to 1/2 mile below Buffalo section is one of them. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way around here you won't find a large number of other rivers. This is a
short paddling stretch so no need to bring snacks. The nature scenery of Wyoming and the water flowing gracefully down Clear Creek are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. There are plenty of hotels here if you want to spend a night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come.
