About This Access Site
Point of Rocks offers a rustic but functional access point to the Yellowstone River near South Glastonbury. The site features a large parking area and concrete boat launch. The ramp conditions vary seasonally: during high water, you can put in directly at the access point, but as water levels drop, you'll need to carry your boat across a small channel to a gravel bar to reach the water. This makes it a reliable option throughout the year, though conditions shift with seasonal flows.
This access point is popular for both kayakers and canoeists exploring the Yellowstone River corridor. Wade fishing is particularly good upstream in the fall, though the area can see crowds during summer months. Point of Rocks serves as a convenient launch for day trips and multi-day paddles, with other notable access points nearby including Yankee Jim (MM 13 upstream) and Corwin Springs Boat Launch (MM 7.1 downstream). Plan your visit with water levels in mind, as the varying conditions will affect your put-in experience.
