The ideal streamflow range for this river is between 1,000 and 4,000 cubic feet per second (cfs), which typically occurs in the late spring and early summer months. The river is classified as a Class III to IV, meaning it has moderate to difficult rapids and requires some experience and skill to navigate.

The river has various segments for kayaking and rafting, with the most popular being the Wind River Canyon section. This section is 12 miles long and has several challenging rapids, including Corkscrew, Baptism, and Frog Pond. Other sections of the river, such as the Sinks Canyon and Dubois sections, offer different experiences and levels of difficulty.

One of the main regulations for the Wind River is that all boaters must have a permit from the Bureau of Land Management. Additionally, all boaters must wear a personal flotation device and have a whistle and a throw rope on board.

It is important to note that the Wind River is not suitable for beginners, and anyone attempting to navigate the river should have prior experience and appropriate safety gear. It is also important to check the current streamflow before embarking on a trip, as water levels can fluctuate rapidly.
