About This Access Site
The Highway 89 Bridge Fishing Access Site offers a convenient day-use boat launch on the Yellowstone River just east of Livingston, Montana. This access point features a newly installed boat ramp and trailer parking, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boats. The site is open year-round and has no day-use fees, making it an accessible option for both anglers and floaters.

The Yellowstone River in this section offers good fishing and paddling opportunities for those with basic to intermediate skills. Whether you're planning a half-day float or launching for a longer expedition downstream, Highway 89 Bridge provides reliable access to this popular stretch of Montana's premier river.
