What a great experience! Highly recommend taking the kayaking tour with Steve. He was a great guide and took the time to explain everything along with some history along the way. 10/10

Mid June lovely 1 hour rafting trip. They provided the life jackets paddles & spray tops. Wet suit for rent. Lots of parking. Our guide was kind and encouraging including towards kids and women. Safety conscious. He was knowledgeable about the history, wildlife, and geology. Family owned.

My family and I had such a great experience renting kayaks from Gradient Mountain Sport! Andy was super helpful and very knowledgeable! He provided us with all the equipment that we needed and even met our group of 14 at the location where we were kayaking at and suggesting a few great spots for our day! Definitely recommend your next water event with this place! Thanks again Andy!

Andy hosted us for a personalized kayaking experience on the Buffalo Bill Reservoir. We had a delicious campfire lunch followed by some kayaking and we had great weather out on the water. Both Andy and Amy told us a lot about the land and surrounding terrain and provided an amazing customer experience for our group. Thank you both!
