Whitewater Adventures with River Runners of Wyoming in Cody

Cody, Wyoming, lies just east of Yellowstone National Park and serves as a gateway to the rugged waterways threading through the Shoshone National Forest. Here, River Runners of Wyoming offers immersive whitewater experiences perfectly suited for families and thrill-seekers alike. Their Family Whitewater Adventure focuses on providing safe, exciting rapids on calmer sections of the North Fork of the Shoshone River, making it accessible for newcomers and young adventurers. The Northfork Whitewater Adventure ups the ante with more challenging rapids that weave through tight granite canyons and pine-forested banks, offering an adrenaline-packed ride framed by Wyoming’s raw wilderness.

The Shoshone River itself carves through unique geological formations largely shaped by volcanic activity associated with the Yellowstone hotspot, where rhyolite rock creates deep river gorges and striking contrasts against clear, cold water. Wildlife sightings along the riverbank are frequent, often including mule deer, bald eagles, and the occasional river otter. River Runners of Wyoming stands out in this area not just for their expert guides familiar with local conditions but for their commitment to customized trips that balance safety with an authentic taste of Wyoming’s wild heart.

Cody’s history as a frontier outpost and its close ties to Buffalo Bill add a rich cultural backdrop to your rafting day, enhancing the outdoor adventure with a sense of place. Whether navigating playful Class II rapids or confronting brisk Class III drops, participants gain not only a physical challenge but a connection to the land’s rugged character. For those seeking whitewater adventures that emphasize family fun and genuine regional immersion, River Runners of Wyoming offers an unmatched doorway to Wyoming’s untamed river corridors.
