The Granby begins in a roadless wilderness area and attracts a wide variety of paddlers ranging from whitewater enthusiasts to kids on inflatables. This trip on the lower segment is both easily accessible and accomodating to less experienced paddlers. Prime time is in late June and early July when flows are just high enough for good paddling, yet low enough to expose the numerous sandy beaches. Bighorn sheep can often be seen on the rocky slopes, and white-tailed deer are abundant.
Rainbow trout inhabit the waters.
While the only official campgrounds are above the put-in point, there are undeveloped campsites along the banks of the river. Get Paddle Routes of the Inland Northwest for complete route descriptions and maps for this trip and 49 others in the Inland Northwest.
