Paddle Safety 101: How to Stay Safe on the Water in Crested Butte
April 29, 2025
Planning to paddle the Slate River? Here's what you need to know about snowpack and runoff. Snowpack = Paddle Season : The Slate River’s water level depends on how much snow accumulates in winter. In high-snow years, you’ll see a longer, deeper paddling season—perfect for SUP adventures through the end of July! Timing Matters : Late May through mid-July tends to offer the best flows, but that can shift each year based on the melt rate. Safety Tip : High snowpack can lead to fast, cold, and high water in spring. Always wear a PFD and leash, and check conditions before heading out. You can only float the Slate River between 90-900 CFS. Local Insight : Wheelies and Waves keeps tabs on the river—stop by or call to get real-time conditions and gear up for your best float yet.
