sea-doo rentals at lake de smet
Sheridan, wyoming truly is a hidden gem within the cowboy state. to me, sheridan is authentically wyoming. It’s a true cowboy town that real people live and work in, but also emits enough charm, history, and scenery to attract visitors and make them want to come back for more. you get the authenticity of the west, epic views, and plenty of things to do. for a small town, sheridan packs a big punch!
#1 - Rent a can-am and explore the bighorn mountains!
sheridan sits right at the base of the bighorns. their 13,oooft peaks tower over the valleys below. the 1.1 million acre national forest within the bighorns is home to abundant wildlife, snow capped peaks, historic sites, wildflowers, alpine lakes, and even more recreation opportunities! the roads are mostly primitive and rocky, so an atv is by far the easiest and most convenient way to soak in all they have to offer. We rent side by sides off red grade road. look for moose, visit the historic spear-o-wigwam guest ranch, or try your luck reeling in a trophy trout at park reservoir.

#2 - experience historic downtown sheridan
Sheridan’s downtown is one of the last great American main streets — like a 1950s postcard brought to life, with just the right touch of modern amenities tucked behind a vintage façade. If you’re up for hearing stories from local legends over coffee, stop by Bison Union. Prefer whiskey? Don’t miss The Mint Bar, one of America’s most iconic speakeasies. Beyond the watering holes, downtown is packed with charming boutiques, local art galleries, and unforgettable dining. Grab breakfast at The Silver Spur, swing by Java Moon for lunch, and treat yourself to dinner at Frackelton’s. And don’t forget to snap a photo in front of Sheridan’s glowing neon signs — they’re as much a part of the town as the mountains in the distance. rent a mini motorcycle and explore!

#3 - hit the lake, rent a sea-doo
Ah yes, Wyoming — known for its sandy beaches and vibrant water culture... right? Think we’re joking? So did we — until we started renting jet skis at Lake De Smet. Summers here can sometimes get downright scorching, and there’s no better way to cool off than with a splash in this mountain stream–fed lake. With stunning views of the Bighorns as your backdrop, you can catch some sun, ride the waves, and take the whole family on an unforgettable adventure with our Sea-Doo jet ski rentals. Our three-seater models are perfect for cruising together and soaking up the beauty of one of Wyoming’s largest lakes. Conveniently located between Buffalo and Sheridan.
