Park county, Venus Creek to Forest Service boundary section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-III     6 miles
  The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Wyoming are often tougher than 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 of Greybull River in Park County is 6 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class I-III section of whitewater. 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. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. A good workout and just being
    out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. On this section you do get some distance, you can easily run it on an afternoon. The wonderful Wyoming scenery and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. The river winds through the Absaroka
Range and you get great scenery. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with not too many other spots for that. The Venus Creek to Forest Service boundary stretch is the only paddling stretch along Greybull River.
