Pirogue Island State Park, State park on Yellowstone River island near Miles City, Montana.
Pirogue Island spans 269 acres with dense cottonwood forest, creating natural corridors along the winding Yellowstone River channels and sand banks.
The Corps of Discovery, under Captain Clark's leadership, established a temporary camp on this island during their return expedition in 1806.
The park preserves a section of the Yellowstone River ecosystem, supporting over 140 plant species and numerous native wildlife populations.
Visitors can access 2.8 miles of marked trails throughout the park, with opportunities for fishing, hunting, and wildlife observation from 7 AM to 10 PM daily.
During low water periods, visitors wade through shallow river channels to reach the island, creating a different access experience each season.
