Springdale Bridge is a state fishing access site located on the Yellowstone River near Springdale, Montana. This primitive boat launch provides a convenient takeout point for paddlers and boaters, situated immediately downstream of the bridge. The access is clearly signed and can be reached by taking the Springdale exit and following the frontage road on the north side of the interstate westbound.
The site offers basic amenities including toilets and a boat ramp suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. Camping is permitted with a 7-day limit, and the site accommodates camp trailers. This location works well as an endpoint for river trips—paddlers typically float approximately 4 miles from upstream sections to reach this takeout. The Yellowstone River in this area is a substantial mountain river that offers a mix of scenery and current, making it popular with both fishing and recreation-focused visitors.
