The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Riverton, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. 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. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking
    outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so don't forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep
you coming back for more. Middle Popo Agie River doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Highway 181 bridge to Sinks Cavern section is the only one. This is a pretty decent length section, good for a one day paddling trip. The beautiful Wind River Range scenery is an added bonus.
