Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area is offering a guided kayak program this year on Bighorn Lake.

Programs will be held on both ends of the lake and cover proper paddling techniques, self-recovery of a capsized kayak, general safety precautions, and fun facts about Bighorn Canyon presented by park rangers. 

These excursions will be offered free of charge on a first come, first served basis for up to 10 participants.

Up to five participants with their own equipment are welcome to join for a total of 15. All participants must call ahead and register with Bighorn Canyon NRA. To register for programs in the South District call the Bighorn Canyon NRA Visitor Center at 307-548-5406.

All trips are subject to cancellation at the guide’s discretion, such as for bad weather. Registered participants will be informed if there is a cancellation.
