Located in Southern Montana, Hebgen Lake is more than 16 miles long and up to four miles at its
widest point on the southern end. Being so vast and being so close to Yellowstone National Park,
can make for windy conditions at times. A motorboat, canoe, pontoon or kayak are the best fishing
boats to use on this large lake.
Rainbow and Brown trout can be found in Hebgen Lake, which explains its yearly popularity with
local anglers. The trout in Hebgen Lake are good sized, with Brown Trout averaging about 16
inches and Rainbows about 14 inches.
A fifteen minute drive from West Yellowstone Airport, 95 miles from Bozeman International Airport
and 100 miles from Idaho Falls Airport, Hebgen Lake is easy to get to. Directly off State HWY 287,
you have year-round access to one of the most beautiful, picturesque locations in North America.
Hebgen Lake is an outdoor paradise whether you're looking for fishing, camping, hiking, biking,
horseback riding, boating, sailing, kayaking, swimming, snowmobiling, skiing, ice fishing or capturing
these amazing views on camera. And only sixteen miles away, you'll find the West Entrance of
Yellowstone National Park (the world's first National Park)!
