Fremont county, 3 miles to 6 miles below Dubois section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III     3 miles
  The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are less forgiving. The beautiful scenery of Fremont County and the cool fresh water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This stretch of Wind River in Wyoming is 3 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II-III section. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these
    hotels fill up quick. A good workout and just being out on the river for a while have people coming from far and near. The campgrounds here at Wind River are pretty good. This is a short paddling stretch so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. This
is one of a small number of paddling sections in this river system, there are a few others too. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you won't find many other paddling places.
