Wyoming whitewater - Sweetwater River, Fremont County
Fremont
county,
From Granite Creek section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
If you're coming from Riverton it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, as you can see on the road map further down. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The scenic beauty of Fremont County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. Sweetwater River doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the From Granite Creek section is the only one. 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. Getting
your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. This stretch is mid length, it's good length for a morning trip. 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 quite a few of the sections here are not easy.
