Fishing Yellowstone River

The Yellowstone River is the biggest river in Yellowstone Country, running a length of nearly 700 miles before it flows into the Missouri just outside of the north-east corner of Montana. More than 150 miles of that runs through Yellowstone Country. This river is the longest undamned river in the lower 48 states. The river's width varies from 75 to 300 feet at its widest, and has wading and boating accessible areas. Along the way you will find 25 state maintained Fishing Access Sites including 17 boat launches.
