DEARBORN RIVER
The Dearborn is a tributary of the Missouri river and is a
relatively small but picturesque stream that flows through the
former hunting grounds of the Blackfeet indians. The most scenic
part of the Dearborn is a 19 mile float from the highway 287
bridge to it's confluence with the Missouri. On this stretch
the river twists and turns through a spectacular gorge with
sheer walls and unusual rock formations alternating between
sections of shallow riffles and deep pools. The river offers
excellent fly fishing for rainbows and some cutthroats along
with an occasional large brown residing in the deep pools. This
19 mile stretch provides wonderful opportunities for fly fishing,
photography and rock climbing. Floaters generally cover this
stretch in one day because the river flows through private land
and camping is not allowed. We have the ability however to provide
a two-day trip on this section of the Dearborn combined with
one night of camping on the river. This trip provides plenty
of time for a leisurely float to enjoy the scenery along with
the fishing and other activities and it's a great trip for families.
