This is very a gentle river rafting float on a Class 0 river (aka a beer float).  Bring your own floating device such as an inflatable kayak or boat, inner tube, multi-person floating island, etc. or you may rent one from our put-in spot at Bighorn.  Note:  Neil and Nancy have extra kayaks if needed.
