Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area
Getting Around
Automobile and boat are the best ways to see the wonders of Bighorn Canyon. Since there are no roads connecting the two ends, traveling by boat is the only way to get directly from one end to the other.

The North end of Bighorn Canyon is surrounded by the Crow Indian Reservation. Please respect their land and stay on the road, or on the water, except in areas that are open to travel.

The South end can be traversed by auto or boat. Hiking, bicycling and horseback riding are other ways to enjoy this end of the recreation area.
