Missouri River
A Legendary Waterway Just Down the Road
Only about 30 minutes from Sidney, the Missouri River offers a deeper dive into Montana’s historic landscape. This is where explorers, traders, and native cultures once traveled—and where today’s visitors come for wide-open water, striking bluffs, and a sense of quiet solitude.
The Missouri is a favorite for anglers targeting walleye and northern pike, especially around the bridge crossings near Culbertson or Fort Union. Birdwatchers and photographers flock to the area in spring and fall, when migratory birds fill the sky.
Local Tip:
Try the Missouri River Overlook near Fort Union or access near the confluence of the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers at Missouri-Yellowstone Confluence Interpretive Center. These spots offer panoramic views, river access, and historical context all in one stop.
Things to Do
- Fish the cool, deep waters for a variety of sportfish.
- Kayak or canoe the wide, slow-moving stretches.
- Explore nearby Lewis & Clark sites and the Fort Union Trading Post.
- Pack a picnic and watch the sunset from a bluff above the river.
Seasonal Highlights
- Spring: Rising water levels, active birdlife, and great early-season fishing.
- Summer: Hot days make for perfect paddling and longer exploration.
- Fall: Crisp air, fewer crowds, and brilliant foliage along the banks.
Nearby Amenities
- Interpretive centers, museums, and historic sites around the confluence area.
- Lodging and outfitters can be found in Sidney, Culbertson, and Williston.
