CLASS V+     12 miles
  This section of Paintrock Creek is 12 miles long and it is classified as a class V+ section by American Whitewater. The scenic beauty of -blank- County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water beats anything. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The North Fork to Valley floor section is the only paddling section along Paintrock Creek. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Wyoming are often tougher than in other states,
    so keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. This section has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so why not pack your camping stuff too. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
