Floats / Upper District · 10.7 mi

Ponca to Kyle's Landing

Good
ChallengingFast, narrow upper river with bluff-wall corners and a long day; best with some experience. (our judgment)

Camping

Gravel-bar camping needs no permit (NPS). Camp well above the water and away from the channel — a storm upstream can raise the river overnight. Pack out everything; glass is banned within 100 ft of the river.
