Rafting, Floating & Boating in Yellowstone Country




Whitewater Rafting? Tackle the tricky (to class IV) rapids of the Gallatin River, or cruise down the vast waters of the mighty Yellowstone River. In addition, you'll find some outstanding kayaking and canoeing on many smaller river and lakes. From the challenging rapids of the Stillwater River to the peaceful waters of Hyalite Reservoir, there is plenty of fun and thrills on the waters of Yellowstone Country. And don't forget about boating on Yellowstone and Lewis Lakes in Yellowstone National Park.
