Northwest Duck Creek is a 3.4-mile out-and-back trail located in Wyoming. This moderate day hike offers a straightforward route along Duck Creek, making it accessible for hikers seeking a half-day adventure in the region. The out-and-back format means you'll retrace your steps on the return journey, covering approximately 6.8 miles total if completing the full route. The trail follows the creek corridor, providing scenic views of the waterway and surrounding terrain. This setting is typical of Wyoming's riparian zones, offering a different landscape experience compared to the higher elevation peaks found throughout the state. Northwest Duck Creek works well for hikers of varying experience levels looking for a manageable distance without excessive technical challenges. The creek-side location makes it particularly appealing during warmer months when water is flowing and vegetation is lush. Plan for approximately 2-3 hours of hiking time depending on your pace and how far along the creek you choose to venture. Bring adequate water and sun protection, as creek-side trails can offer limited shade.
