The river slices cool light across the paddle board as you push off a small, stony bank and glassy water parts around the nose of the board. In Buffalo, Wyoming, the inlet channels and calm arms of Clear Creek invite a slow, private day on the water — sunrise mirrors the Bighorn foothills, while evening winds whisper across cottonwoods.

Launch at dawn
Mornings are typically the calmest — plan to launch within the first two hours after sunrise to avoid afternoon gusts coming off the Bighorn Mountains.
Use the ankle leash and PFD
A leash and universal life jacket are provided; wear both to stay safe in unexpected currents or chilly water.
Protect shorelines
Avoid dragging inflatables over riparian vegetation or fragile cobble banks; carry gear a few feet to prevent erosion and plant damage.
Secure your electronics
Use a small dry bag for phone, keys and snacks — inflatable hulls can flip in wind and you’ll want essentials protected.
Closed-toe water shoes
Protects feet on rocky launches and provides traction when stepping off boards or kayaks.
