Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. This is the only paddling stretch along Gros Ventre
River. This section of Gros Ventre River in Teton County is 5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-IV section. The beauty of the Wind River Range is a great plus for this river. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get
to one, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are not so many other good spots for that around here.
