Cody Wyoming Whitewater Rafting
Enjoy a family adventure by whitewater rafting the beautiful Shoshone River in Cody Wyoming. Run the rapids like "Colter's Falls," "Sitting Bull," "Crazy Horse" and "Corbett's Crossing." Retrace the tracks of early pioneers, and float through a Golden Eagle nesting area. The Shoshone River provides the setting, Cody river guides provide the means, and all you need to do is enjoy the experience. Floating the Shoshone is fun for the entire family, and it’s a spectacular way to view wildlife and get an up-close-and-personal look at the geology of this area. The Shoshone River also has great scenic trips as well. North of Cody, beginning just east of Yellowstone, The Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River carves a path from the Beartooth Mountains in the north to the Absaroka Range. Its tumultuous waterfalls, whitewater cascades, deep pools, and rugged corridor lands are its unique characteristics and was designated a Wild & Scenic River on November 28, 1990. Early on, the Clarks Fork runs through narrow gorges, hosting frequent waterfalls that make the river impassable in this section. The river opens up briefly, with stretches of flattish water, but the respite is brief. The gradient steepens and the stream carves the Box, a steep canyon where 1200-foot walls tower above the water. The rapids range from Class IV- Class VI, and so should be attempted only by very experienced boaters. The whitewater section of Greybull River south of Cody is 6 miles long and is a class I-III section of whitewater. The river winds through the Absaroka Range, and you get great scenery. On this section, you can easily run it on an afternoon. The wonderful Wyoming scenery and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthy of the long drive to reach it. The Venus Creek to Forest Service boundary stretch is the only paddling stretch along Greybull River as most of it runs through private ranch lands.
