Wyoming whitewater - Ditch Creek, Wind River Range, Teton County

Teton county, North and South Branch confluence to US26 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 
  The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Jackson, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so don't forget that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. The river winds through the Wind River Range and you get great scenery. This is the only paddling stretch along Ditch Creek. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. On this section you do get some distance, suitable for an afternoon
    trip. The wonderful Wyoming scenery and the cool fresh water make the trip here worthwhile. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting
or kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling places. There's camping available near Ditch Creek.
