Emerald Cut Paddle Tour

Named for its incredible water color, this tour begins near the headwaters of Rock Springs. Pure, clean water flows from the underground aquifer to the surface, so this entire paddle is atop stunning emerald-clear water with a white sand bottom. Paddling upstream with fresh muscles, we’ll navigate the gentle current amongst the narrow, canopied trail, bordered by beautiful flora and fauna, and inhabited by turtles, deer, birds, and the occasional otter.

We’ll stop at a small beach to relax and cool off in a waist-deep, emerald pool then make our way effortlessly back, cruising with the current. We’ll finish the adventure with a splash on the local jump tree or take a dip in the swimming hole.

This outdoor activity is a great way to socialize while maintaining physical distance on individual paddle crafts.
