Carbella Boat Ramp
Carbella Boat Ramp
Carbella is a BLM-maintained concrete boat ramp located on the Yellowstone River approximately 20 miles north of Gardiner, serving as the primary take-out point for Yankee Jim Canyon floaters.
The site offers 15 free campsites (first-come, first-served with 14-day limit), vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings, though water and trash collection are not available.
The ramp can experience sediment washout but is generally easy to use, making it a convenient access point for both whitewater paddlers and fly anglers.
