Wyoming whitewater, Shell Creek Big Horn county, Cabin Creek to Forest Service boundary section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II-V     11 miles   Shell Creek is a very hard, dangerous kayak run with multiple blind corners and waterfalls. Says Nathan Johnson The natural beauty of Big Horn County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream will make you feel great. The put-in is not too far from Sheridan, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might     find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so you'd better keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. This stretch of Shell Creek in Wyoming is 11 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-V section. This stretch is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your camp stove too. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. When you're paddling down a Bighorn Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This river system has a few good paddling   sections and the Cabin Creek to Forest Service boundary section is one of them. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are not so many other good places for that around here. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Briefly about the general area: Have a magnificent hiking adventure along the Dry Horse Trail; the beauty of mother nature reveals herself at Barrel Spring. And that's not everything you can do here in the Bighorn Mountains.
