Wyoming whitewater - Encampment River, Park Range, Carbon County
Carbon
county,
State Line to Encampment section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-V 15 miles
This stretch of Encampment River in Carbon County is 15 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-V section. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. The natural beauty of Wyoming and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water beats anything. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better
reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Encampment River doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the State Line to Encampment stretch is the only one. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. There are campgrounds
quite near the river where you can camp. The Park Range scenery is wonderful. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you won't find a large number of other places. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your sleeping bag too.
