Preparing for Kayaking, Canoeing & Paddling
This time of year has got me thinking about the water this summer and upcoming river adventures. The mighty Yellowstone River is my favorite place to be in the summer and I can't wait to float it once again. 1 thing I always keep in mind is that the Yellowstone is a very powerful river and must be respected. That means preparing myself and my equipment ahead of time. Preparation is essential for safe & fun river trips, and now is the time to prepare yourself and your equipment. Here are a few tips and handy links I've put together to assist.

White Water Rafting Coming Soon
Spring is taking it's time showing up in Wyoming this year, but our thoughts are beginning to drift towards the rivers and spring run off. We are anticipating a big run off this spring, from the heavy snow winter that continues into April. Now is time to make your water adventure plans for summer rafting trips. There's no memory like a hair raising ride on world class rapids, or a scenic float through Grand Teton National Park. Here is a list of white water rafting companies in the area, compiled by Greater Yellowstone Resource Guide.
Yellowstone Region Whitewater Rafting Companies
Mad River Boat Trips • (Jackson Hole) When you head down the Snake River with Mad River, you're traveling with more than 100 years of river guide experience. Guides are knowledgeable in local lore, Wyoming's rugged and beautiful waters, and advanced rafting safety. You'll find our entire crew prides themselves in providing the very best, most exciting river trip you can take in the Jackson area. Come, grab a paddle and take a trip with Mad River. We guarantee it will be one you remember for a long time.
Jackson Hole Whitewater • (Jackson Hole) Voted The #1rafting company in Jackson Hole by our local newspaper the "Jackson Hole Guide." That says it all. We have been in business for 35 years and were the first company to have permits on the Snake River. We are a small company by choice. We have had the chance to expand but feel that "small is better"! Visit our website to find out why...
Wyoming River Trips • (Cody Wyoming) Wyoming River Trips was founded in 1978 with Rick and Ron Blanchard personally escorting trips; a practice that is still carried on today. Our Company has been featured on ESPN and Outdoor Life television network; along with national publications such as Travel and Leisure, Better Homes and Gardens, and Mature Outlook Magazines. Wyoming River Trips is the only continually owned and operated company in the historic Cody Area running the Shoshone river. The Shoshone river is the main eastern drainage of Yellowstone National Park. It reads like a flowing history book with almost as many scenic vistas as the colorful people and cultures who explored it. This river was used as a trade route during the fur-trading era for the mountain men and Native Americans who entered the "Yellow Rock" country in pursuit of its abundance of wildlife. This pursuit of adventure continues today.
Flying Pig Adventure Company • (Gardiner Montana) Ride the river with us! If you're looking for raft trip with exciting whitewater, breathtaking scenery, and safe and knowledgeable guides - our raft trips are for you. The longest free-flowing river in the lower 48 states, the Yellowstone River, offers fun and exciting white water rafting for all ages and experience levels. Slam through the waves of the Gardiner Town Stretch while helping to navigate your raft through the notorious rapids; Man Eater, Pickets Wave, Creighton's Hole, and Sleeping Giant in your white water rafting adventure near Yellowstone National Park.
Gallatin River Rafting • (Big Sky Montana) We offer canoe, kayak and rafting trips on rivers, creeks, streams and lakes near Gallatin River. You can experience rafting trips ranging from a brief two hour tour to a wilderness adventure lasting several days. Our guides are fully licenced and are carefully chosen on the basis of their skill and experience, their ability to make sound decisions and their ability to communicate and identify with our clients. We're experts in organizing family and group-travel! If you have any questions that are not addressed on this website, please call one of our friendly and knowledgeable whitewater rafting agents today!
Don't forget to stock up on floating retainers, to keep your glasses from becoming river trash.
