Despite the prohibition, generations of kayakers have been unable to resist the world-class whitewater of the Black Canyon of the Yellowstone River, and today advocates on both sides of the issue press the Park Service to determine if visitors will ever legally wet a paddle on the thousands of miles of rivers and streams in the first National Park.

    OOTTERBAROTTTERBERBAARR LLODGELODGEE Online Newsletter 2014 Highlights 2015 Updates Letter from the Baron We’re getting our newsletter out a little earlier this year to let you know what’s going on this upcoming season and give you a recap of last year. Despite a slow season last year (see 2014 in review) we are forging ahead with some new ideas and a mountain of energy for 2015. Times change, and we have to always be willing to reinvent ourselves. We feel very lucky to have a choice in this matter. Our first level ‘reinvention’ is to offer some new programs and ideas to help keep Otter Bar as great as ever. For 2014 we will be offering a LEVEL 4 ACA WHITEWATER KAYAK INSTRUCTOR WORKSHOP with Ben Morton and Andy Round. Also on the schedule is a much asked for course, ADVANCED KIDS WEEK in June. (See article) We are purchasing many new kayaks including a small fleet of ‘SIT-ON-TOPS’ (Do It Nows by Fluid) for those who wish to learn whitewater skills without the pressure of rolling. Avid inflatable kayakers are also welcome. We had a group of ‘IK-ers’ (inflatable kayaks) in 2014 and the skills they learned were beyond their wildest expectations. We love what we do and wish to continue on as in the past but are also looking to include new options. We have painted the exterior of the lodge and most of the interior. Keeping up on the lodge maintenance is the never-ending story of our lives. We’re also thinking about doing a VRBO (Vacation Rental By Owner) for the lodge.
