Wyoming whitewater - Laramie River, Albany County

Albany county, Jelm Public Access to Woods Landing section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     3 miles
  The wonderful Wyoming scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Wyoming are often tougher than in other states, so better not forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. There are no other stretches to paddle along Laramie River than the Jelm Public Access to Woods Landing stretch. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you won't find many other paddling rivers. Getting a good
    workout and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. This is a bit of a short stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. The starting location is a reasonable
drive from Laramie, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The Jelm Public Access to Woods Landing stretch of Laramie River in Wyoming is 3 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-II section. 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.
