Whitewater and scenic rafting are
popular sports throughout the spring and summer. The North Platte River is one
of the few rivers that flows north, and more than 65 miles have been designated
as a "Blue Ribbon" trout fishery by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. There
are more than 3,200 fish per mile, and with ratings among the highest for
productivity, availability and aesthetics, the North Platte is well deserving of
