Paddling near Billings, MT

Sitting in Yellowstone County, Billings straddles the Yellowstone River — the longest undammed river in the lower 48, running directly through the city with both calm and swifter stretches for kayaks, canoes, SUPs, and rafts. Within reach lie urban flatwater at Lake Elmo, the whitewater sections of the Stillwater River, and the 71-mile canyon of Bighorn Lake.
