The nature scenery of Wyoming and the cool fresh water make the trip here worthwhile. There are no other stretches to paddle along Wind River than the Boysen Dam to canyon mouth stretch. Getting your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time in nature are great attractions for lots of people. There's camping
    available near Wind River. This section of Wind River in Wyoming is 12 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-III section. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve
in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
