Hellroaring Creek Put In is a whitewater access point on a medium-sized mountain stream in Park County, Wyoming. This is a headwater stream located in the upper portions of the watershed, with significant elevation change and gradient. The creek features a notable average slope of 116.9 feet per mile and an average velocity of 2.56 feet per second, indicating this is a moving current environment suitable for whitewater paddling.

With an average flow of approximately 201 cubic feet per second and a total drainage area of 149 square miles, Hellroaring Creek offers variable water conditions depending on season and recent precipitation. The stream descends nearly 3,000 feet over its 25-mile length, creating consistent gradient throughout. The elevation at this put-in location is approximately 5,700 feet, placing it in a montane environment typical of the Rocky Mountain region.

Paddlers should expect fast-moving whitewater conditions appropriate for intermediate to advanced boaters. Water levels and difficulty will vary seasonally, with higher flows during snowmelt periods. The remote mountain location means limited services and amenities nearby, so paddlers should come fully prepared with all necessary equipment and safety gear.
