  If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so if you're not from around here don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The Forest Service Road bridge Close to county line to Highway 190 section of Powder River - Middle Fork in Washakie Johnson County is 12 miles long and has been rated as a class II-V section by American Whitewater. There are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some
    time outdoors have a lot of people coming here. When you're paddling down a Bighorn Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are not so many other
good places for that around here. The nature scenery of Washakie Johnson County and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so why not pack your camp stove too.
