There are rapids scattered along this stretch of the river and we saw people floating, rafting and kayaking here.

Swimming

The river is a bit shallow at the campground but I am sure one could find a better spot to swim nearby.

Recreation

Camping, fishing and playing in the river are the main recreational activities here. However, there is also backpacking, hiking and the Trail of the Hiawatha is not too far away for a days bike ride. Check out this company offering package deals. It is one of several.

Wildlife

We didn't see any wildlife but one could expect deer, elk, black bear and grizzly bear to live in these mountains. There were no bear warnings at Tin Can Flat Campground.
