LYC is located in Moffat County, just downstream of Craig, Colorado and is home to a 32-mile, family-friendly, flatwater stretch of the Yampa River; a stretch that has been found to hold characteristics suitable for a Wild & Scenic River designation. This section of river boasts incredible scenery, hidden Native American petroglyphs, frequent wildlife viewing opportunities, and an incredible sense of serenity and solitude that is lost in today's modern, busy world. Unlike the Yampa Canyon which requires a permit from Dinosaur National Monument to float the river, the LYC is managed by the Bureau of Land Management as a Special Recreation Management Area and does not require a permit to float the river.
