Floaters find this isolated cottonwood-covered Yellowstone River island an excellent spot to view wildlife, envision the Corps of Discovery's travel along the river, and hunt for moss agates. The site is a haven for waterfowl, bald eagles, and whitetail and mule deer. Though there are no designated hiking trails, the site is level and easily walked througout the entire 269 acres. At 2,371 feet in elevation, this site has no formal development and care is needed when crossing side channels. Crossing is not recommended if water is flowing. Hand launching for lightweight crafts for boating.
Boating
The park, located in Montana, offers a variety of boating options for visitors. The Yellowstone River flows through the area and provides opportunities for canoeing or kayaking adventures. Motorized boats are also allowed on this river which is easily accessible from various points within the park premises. However, there aren't any boat rentals available at the site so guests need to bring their own equipment.
Fishing
Anglers can enjoy fishing in the Yellowstone River, home to species like Walleye, Sauger and Smallmouth Bass. Catfish are also abundant here. The river's northern pike population offers an exciting challenge for experienced fishermen. Fly-fishing enthusiasts will appreciate opportunities to catch Rainbow Trout or Brown Trout during certain seasons.
