North Platte River: Saratoga to I-80

(Note: because the Glendo trip has to be canceled, we made this trip more flexible by allowing people who can only come up for the weekend to join the group on Saturday (from Pick Bridge to Saturday’s campsite) or Sunday (a half day paddle from the campsite to I-80) or both. Anyone joining us on Saturday or Sunday must arrange for their own shuttle from their put-in and take-out points.)

Join RMCC for this Class I run through beautiful Wyoming landscape full of birds and other wildlife, just a half-day drive from Denver. This is a 3 day, 2 night canoe camping trip. We’ll complete the car shuttle Friday morning and begin paddling in the afternoon, camping at Pick Bridge that evening. The next day we will be paddling most of the day with a stop at the Overland trail cemetery/historical site 8. We paddle Sunday morning and plan to take out between noon and 1:00, allowing people time to return home Sunday afternoon or take a leisurely soak in the nearby Saratoga hot springs.

It is mandatory that you have a Wyoming Game & Fish Invasive Species decal for your boat and your boat also needs to be inspected when entering Wyoming (https://wgfd.wyo.gov/Fishing-and-Boating/Aquatic-Invasive-Species-Prevention). This is an ACA-sanctioned trip requiring either an ACA membership or a $5 single-event fee per person.
