The Office of Outdoor Recreation’s Bighorn Basin Outdoor Recreation Collaborative invites you to join them for their annual Bighorn River Blueway Trail float.
🗓️ August 23rd, 2025
🕒 Starting at 10 a.m. (MDT)
📍 Launching at the Wedding of the Waters (400 US-20, Thermopolis, WY 82443) and ending at Hot Springs State Park
Considerations for the float:
→ The boat ramp at Hot Springs State Park will be under construction, so please plan your watercraft retrieval accordingly. Because of this, the BBORC is also asking that no one bring any driftboats or larger vessels that would require you to use the boat ramp to retrieve your watercraft.
→ Parking is limited.
→ All participants must bring their own watercraft, such as kayaks, canoes, small rafts or inflatables, and necessary equipment for a safe float.
The Bighorn River Blueway Trail is an idea proposed by the Bighorn Basin Outdoor Recreation Collaborative (BBORC), a water trail starting at the Wedding of the Waters in Thermopolis, WY, and ending near Lovell, WY. This idea has been a work in progress for the BBORC for nearly four years: strategically mapping out the river and working with the Bureau of Land Management to increase access within the section between Greybull and Lovell.
Once completed, the BBORC plans to have formal maps created that outline the entire route and list important safety and access information, making it a recreational destination and opportunity that residents and visitors will enjoy.
