Things To Do

Overview

Yellow Bay is in the heart of the famous Montana sweet cherry orchards. Cherry blossoms color the hillsides during spring. In the summer, cherries can be purchased at nearby roadside stands or U-Pick orchards. The park includes Yellow Bay Creek and a wide, gravelly beach. Among its attractions are boating, lake trout fishing, water skiing, bird watching, swimming, camping, and scuba diving. The park is 15 acres in size at an elevation of 2,907 feet. It offers five tent sites. There are both flush and vault toilets, a group day-use area, grills/fire rings, picnic tables, trash cans, and drinking water. No open fires are allowed and there is a seven day camping limit during a 30 day period. A joint state/tribal fishing license is required at this site and it is day-use only from October through April.
