This section of Powder River - Middle Fork is 12 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II-V section. The nature scenery of Wyoming and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. A good workout and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. This section has enough mileage
    for an overnight trip, so why not pack your camping stuff too. The Forest Service Road bridge Close to county line to Highway 190 section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. The beauty of the Bighorn Mountains is a great plus for this river. If you're a camper
you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling places. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set.
