About Pirogue Island State Park
Pirogue Island State Park sits on an isolated island in the Yellowstone River, two miles north of Miles City. Cottonwood trees provide shade, and the park is a good place to watch waterfowl, bald eagles, fox squirrels, and deer. Visitors can hike about 2.8 miles of marked trails, hunt for moss agates, and picture the Corps of Discovery traveling this river. In hot weather, when side channels run dry, a tree-shaded walk along them is possible, but crossing is not advised when water is flowing. Day use fees for nonresidents are modest, and Montana residents who pay the state parks fee with vehicle registration enter without daily charges.
