Teton county, Lower Slide Lake to Kelly section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-IV     5 miles
  The average Wyoming whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so don't forget that rivers here are less forgiving. The Lower Slide Lake to Kelly stretch of Gros Ventre River in Wyoming is 5 miles long and is a class II-IV section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near. The
    beautiful scenery of Wyoming and the cool fresh water will make you feel great. Gros Ventre River doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Lower Slide Lake to Kelly stretch is the only one. This stretch is mid length, it's perfect for a one day trip. The Wind River Range
scenery is wonderful. The campgrounds here at Gros Ventre River are pretty good. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty small number of paddling spots.
