CLASS II-V 11 miles
The natural beauty of Big Horn County and the playfulness of the water will make you feel great. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Wyoming is often more difficult than elsewhere, so you'd better keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. There are no other stretches to paddle along Shell Creek than the Cabin Creek to Forest Service boundary stretch. 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. The Cabin Creek to Forest Service boundary stretch of Shell
Creek in Big Horn County is 11 miles long and is a class II-V section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. You can
enjoy this section more if you take your time, so go ahead and pack your sleeping bag. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are not so many other good places for that around here. The river winds through the Bighorn Mountains and you get great scenery.
