River Float Trips

Raft and Drift Boat trips available

We have a few marquee float trip options to offer you our valued client.  We float the North Platte River in the canyon from 6 Mile Gap to Saratoga, and the Encampment River.  Our River systems are freestone, meaning there are no dams, our float seasons are dictated by the previous winter’s snow-pack.  Most years our float season lasts from late May until early-July. All of our float trips are designed for 1-2 anglers and are Full Days only.  Transportation, flies, terminal tackle, any needed equipment, lunch, and non-alcoholic beverages are provided on these trips.

Our premier float option is along the North Platte through the “Platte River Wilderness Area”.  North Park Anglers is one of the few shops in the lower forty-eight with a premier wilderness float that can be done in one day.  This is an amazing section of a remote River that flows North from Colorado into Wyoming. Our float is nine miles of varying water types with everything from class III rapids and great pocket water to expansive flats, perfect for dries and hoppers. We run top of the line Down River rafts with full frames and casting decks designed for the comfort of two anglers and a guide.  Not only is this trip great fishing but it is an epic angling adventure.

The other North Platte float trips that we offer are listed below.  These are very good fishing but can have more traffic than we are used to due to the easy boat ramps and logistics.  Whether you just want to learn about the river or would like to see another section of the North Platte we would love to take you.  We can generally run these sections of the river from June through late July.

North Platte Trips

Prospect Creek to Bennett Peak (18 Miles)

Bennett Peak to Treasure Island (13 Miles)

Treasure Island to Saratoga (10 Miles)

The last float we offer is along the Encampment River in nearby Riverside, Wyoming.  The Encampment River is a gem among the West and we know it very well.  The float is 12 miles in length and flows through some of the most pristine trout habitats in the west.  In general, we float the Encampment River from late June through mid-July.  Most of this float is across private land so there are not many options for wade fishing.  For this float, we run Down River Rafts with full fishing frames.
