CLASS II-III     3 miles
  The 3 miles to 6 miles below Dubois section of Wind River is 3 miles long and is a class II-III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. The scenic beauty of Wyoming and the water flowing gracefully down Wind River are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some time
    outdoors have people coming from far and near. This section is quite short so no need to bring snacks. 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 3 miles to 6 miles below Dubois section is one of
a few paddling sections in this river system. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with not too many other places for that.
