Buffalo Bill Dam to Highway 120 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

The average Wyoming whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so better not forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. No need to look hard for hotels, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with not too many other spots for that. The Buffalo Bill Dam to Highway 120 section is the only paddling section along Shoshone River. This is a pretty decent length
section, it's perfect for a one day trip. The campgrounds here at Shoshone River are pretty good. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people coming here. This stretch of Shoshone River in Wyoming is 8.1 miles long and it is classified as
a class II-V section by American Whitewater. The Absaroka Range scenery is wonderful. The beautiful scenery of Park County and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far.
