Hi Wayne ;
I bought this book, "Paddling Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks"
by Don Nelson, ISBN: 1560446277, very helpful. The book talks about
trips, campsites, water taxi, permits, etc. I have also taken a short
paddles on Yellowstone and Lewis lake. It was very different then in
Washington State, I guess you would expect that. What I was struck by is
how fast the wind comes up in the afternoon so you need to paddle in the
morning. You need to buy a permit to paddle in Yellowstone. When I came
out of Yellowstone the Ox Bow area looked really nice. I do not know if it
was practical.
All the Best
Bill

I just took a peek at the book. Looks like it'll be helpful.

What kind of paddling are you looking for...
Whitewater? Fla****er touring? I don't get down to the South side of th=

much, but I do a lot of paddling on the north side, Yellowstone River,
Gallatin, Madison, Boulder.
