Paddleboarding

Self-Guided Scenic Adventure

Have some fun, under the Montana sun.

VIP Paddleboard Experience

Proudly provided by Bitterroot E-Bikes, this is our most seamless and elevated paddleboard option, designed for guests who want a stress-free fully prepared lake experience. Boards are reserved, ready and waiting when you arrive at nearby Painted Rocks Lake just 12 miles from Triple Creek Ranch—no setup, no transport, no hassle. Perfect for first-time paddleboarders, relaxed lake cruising, couples, families, and peaceful outdoor escapes. The fee for this service is $99 per board for 4 hours of use, and will be added to your cabin invoice for payment upon departure. Available daily June through Labor Day, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with options available in both inflatable and hardboard based on availability. For guest safety & optimum equipment functioning, boards have a weight limit of 250lbs.

Paddleboarding at the Lake

Stop by the lodge to pick up a complimentary inflatable paddleboard from the Activities Center, get a map of the local area, and head out on your own self-guided adventure to one of our nearby lakes with park & float accessibility. Boards are prepacked, include a compact battery powered inflation device, and an Activities Coordinator will provide you with simple instruction on how to inflate & deflate your board, as well as driving directions to your lake of choice.

Alpine Lake ‘Pack-Boarding’

For those who love to explore, want a challenge, or just can’t wait to reach new heights, a hike to float in one of our many pristine local Alpine Lakes may be exactly what you never knew you needed! With many different options for varied levels of hike difficulty, our Activities Coordinators will be happy to provide advice on which hike may be best suited for you, a pre-loaded GPS tracker, trail maps, and your complimentary pre-packed board to inflate once you arrive at your chosen destination on this self-guided hike. To facilitate a lighter load while hiking, these boards include a manual pump inflation device.

Regardless of which adventure you choose, an Activities Coordinator will be available to outfit you with all of the essentials you may need, including life jackets, dry bags, towels, sunscreen, bottled water, insect repellent, driving directions, & a picnic lunch from our Triple Creek Ranch Kitchen.

Guests will need their own vehicle to transport themselves to the various off-ranch lakes & hiking trail systems.
