Three Rivers in One

The Yellowstone changes character as it moves north out of the park. Pick your stretch based on flow, fishing style, and the float you're after.

Upper · Gardiner to Carbella

Yankee Jim Canyon

Gardiner → Carbella

A technical, boulder-studded stretch where the river tightens through a steep canyon before opening into the upper valley. Faster water, bigger drops, and stunning scenery. Best for experienced oarsmen and whitewater-capable boats.

Gardiner Airport McConnell Brogans / Gravel / Cabins Cinnabar / Corwin Springs Yankee Jim / Joe Brown Carbella
Middle · Canyon to Town

Paradise Valley

Point of Rocks → Carter's Bridge

The classic Yellowstone fishing water. Long gravel-bar riffles, excellent dry-fly runs, and the Absaroka peaks on both sides. Most of our shuttles run some combination of these accesses.

Point of Rocks Mile Marker 26 Emigrant Grey Owl Mill Creek Loch Leven Mallard's Rest Pine Creek Carter's Bridge
Lower · Livingston & Below

Town to Pelican

Mayor's Landing → Pelican

Wider channels, warmer water, and bigger fish holding in the seams. The river opens up as it leaves the mountains. Great for longer half- and full-day floats with consistent drift-boat water.
