Tongue River Reservoir State Park

Tongue River Reservoir State Park is a state park in Montana centered around a reservoir surrounded by red shale cliffs and juniper canyons. The park provides camping areas, boat access, and space for fishing and water activities throughout the year.

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks created this recreational area in 1983 to open the Tongue River impoundment to the public. The park was developed to serve anglers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking access to the water.

Local anglers and visitors from the region come here to fish and spend time on the water, making it a gathering place for people who love outdoor recreation on the reservoir.

The park offers camping sites with electrical hookups as well as spots without power for tents and RVs. Most visitors come during the warmer months from May through September for the best camping and fishing conditions.

Several state fishing records have been caught in these waters, showing that the reservoir holds fish of exceptional size and quality. Anglers from across the region are drawn here because of the uncommon opportunity to land prize-winning catches.
