Floating down the river is my favorite way to enjoy the park in the summer. Escape the hustle and bustle of life and slow down to the river’s flow and enjoy nature all while cooling off.
Blackwater Canoe Rental provides rental equipment and shuttle options for canoeing, kayaking or tubing the Blackwater River. Enjoy a short trip or spend the entire day drifting down the River.
Camping at Blackwater River State Park is a sensory experience allowing visitors a new perspective on the park. An extended stay in the park also affords more opportunities to view park wildlife.
The Blackwater River, one of the most pristine rivers in the nation, provides the perfect setting for this 590-acre park. The park’s sandy bottom, white beaches and large sandbars are a sharp contrast to the dark tannic water that gives the river its name
Situated within the Blackwater River State Forest, this park has miles of trails that wind through secluded wilderness and along creeks lined by dogwood trees. Walking through these areas, visitors can spot wildlife like gopher tortoises, great blue herons, wild turkey, white-tailed deer and opossums.
Renee Thompson has found a way to make her favorite camping destination her office, and she wouldn't have it any other way.
Dale Wheelis spends his time in nature picking up litter at three state parks and one state forest.
The statewide nonprofit partner meeting critical funding needs for universal access, conservation, education and preservation.

Blackwater River boasts an incredible array of activities for the outdoor enthusiast, many centered around the park’s namesake waterway.
Despite its name — Blackwater, or the original Oka-lusa (water black) in the Muscogee language — the Blackwater River is normally a transparent golden-brown when seen against the white sandbars.
Most of the stream flows through undeveloped lands of the Blackwater State Forest and Blackwater River State Park, core areas of the largest contiguous longleaf pine/wiregrass ecosystem remaining in the world, one described as being rarer than a tropical rainforest.
Water seeping from this forest is as pure as it comes, merely tinted with tannins from leaves and roots of shoreline vegetation.
Canoeing, kayaking, camping and picnicking are popular activities in the park along with strolling along forested nature trails.

The Black Hole is a dark slot in White Canyon, located in the Hite area above Lake Powell. The canyon makes a great semi-technical adventure hike. Access is easy and permits are not needed. It has become popular with families and youth groups. However, it is a challenging route carrying an element of danger.
To get through the canyon you must swim through several long, cold pools, in addition to wading/swimming short pools and scrambling up/down dryfalls and chokestones. In the middle of the longest swim you must squirm around a 90-degree turn. In this spot the canyon is so narrow you can't get a frame pack through the opening.
The water is cold year-round and hypothermia is a danger. Wet suites are suggested in all but the hottest weather. Flash floods pose the other significant danger. The drainage is large and the canyon can flash if rain falls anywhere above the Black Hole.
The slot is beautiful and the hike is enjoyable, if you are prepared. Ropes aren't usually necessary but it is a good idea to carry one just in case.
The hike begins from Hwy 95 at mile marker 56.7, south of Hite Marina. You drop into the canyon there and then hike down the canyon. The canyon parallels the highway and you emerge at mile marker 54.7. You can have a shuttle vehicle there, or hike the 2 miles back to the trailhead.
To get into the canyon from the trailhead, follow the well-defined trail north for a short distance to where it drops into a side canyon. Hike that side canyon into White Canyon and then continue hiking down White.
The Black Hole is the deepest, darkest, longest, coldest swim through narrows - the one with the 90-degree turn. There are two other challenging obstacles above this hole, but they can be navigated with little trouble. Below the Black Hole the canyon is beautiful but relatively tame.
About 1.5 miles below the Back Hole you must exit the canyon to the south (left). At that point you'll see an obvious, narrow side canyon come in from the south. Hike down White Canyon for a couple hundred yards below that side canyon and then look for a way to climb ledges to get out of White and up to Highway 95. There is no official exit trail, and several possible routes. If you pay attention you'll be able to identify a faint hiker-made trail that follows the easiest route. GPS won't work in the slot and so we can't give precise coordinates.
Be careful here because you could get "ledged" if you aren't paying attention. Your rope may come in handy here to assist less experienced climbers.

The Big Hole River is one of the prettiest rivers in Montana. Beginning at Skinner Lake, which is tucked away in the Beaverhead Mountains near the Idaho border, the Big Hole River flows for 155 miles in Montana before emptying into the Jefferson River at Twin Bridges.
The countryside the Big Hole River passes through is gorgeous. At its origin, towering mountains surround the river. It soon leaves the mountains and enters the beautiful Big Hole River Valley, where it slowly makes its way towards Wisdom.
For those who have never been to the Big Hole River Valley, a trip is highly rewarding. This high elevation valley is surprisingly large and flat, even by Montana standards. Bordered by the Pioneer Mountains to the east and the Beaverhead Mountains to the west, the valley offers a picture postcard view of Montana.
The valley is quite isolated and sits at more than 6000 feet above sea level. Due to its elevation, the valley gets a fair amount of moisture by Montana standards and also gets quite chilly, even during the summer. The valley is primarily agricultural in nature, and produces more hay than anywhere else in Montana.
Big Hole River Downstream from Wisdom.
For those travelers seeking services, don’t expect to find many in the Big Hole River Valley. The largest town is Wisdom, which provides few services not directly related to fishing and ranching. Dillon, located sixty-five miles to the southeast, and Anaconda, fifty miles to the north, provide the best source for supplies and services. Butte also is quite close, relatively speaking, if you are fishing on the lower part of the river.
After leaving the mountains, the river flows due north through the massive Big Hole Valley, picking up velocity and volume from the numerous feeder creeks that spill from the high mountains. There are no official access sites to the river between Skinner Lake and Wisdom. However, numerous county roads cross the river, providing easy access for the wade angler and adequate access for floaters with small boats and inflatable rafts.
The river flows through the valley for more than sixty miles before it turns eastward where it enters a canyon. The Big Hole River picks up further velocity through this stretch and riffles become more frequent. A few small rapids also exist. The canyon is initially heavily forested on both sides of the river, but the forest lessens as the river travels further eastward and loses additional elevation. Access to the river in the canyon stretch is excellent. The Big Hole River is frequently bordered by federal land, and numerous official and unofficial access sites exist.
The canyon stretch of the Big Hole River continues for thirty miles, passing through the very small town of Wise River. The Big Hole then emerges from the canyon near the town of Divide, which is located along Interstate 15.
From Divide, the river turns south and flows through primarily arid country, with cottonwood trees frequently lining its banks, to the town of Glen. The best access to the Big Hole River in this stretch is from the designated access sites, as the river primarily flows through private land.
After twenty-five miles, the river makes one final turn and begins to flow to the northeast, through very arid terrain, towards the confluence with the Jefferson River at Twin Bridges. There are only four designated access sites between Glen and Twin Bridges. However, a number of unofficial access sites exist just off the road that follows the Big Hole River.
A word of warning is needed to anyone visiting the upper Big Hole River for the first time. Mosquitoes are usually not a problem in most Montana valleys. However, the Big Hole River Valley is home to lots of these biting creatures.
All of the standing water, coupled with being one of the wetter and cooler areas in Montana, combines to produce vicious mosquitoes during a normal summer, particularly during June and July. Usually by August either an early season frost (the Big Hole River Valley is probably the coldest spot in Montana outside of West Yellowstone) or the dryness of late summer will have scaled back the mosquito populations to tolerable levels.
In other words, don’t forget to bring the mosquito repellent if you’ll be visiting the Big Hole River Valley.
If mosquitoes do chase you out of the valley, consider fleeing down to the Melrose/Glen area. There, due to the dryness of the area, mosquitoes are virtually non-existent—although you do have to watch out for rattlesnakes!
The Big Hole River is a study in contrasts. Few rivers in Montana flow through such a wide variety of geographical features. This beautiful river begins high in the mountains of the Bitterroot Range. It soon tumbles down the mountains and flows through the beautiful and massive Big Hole River Valley. This scenic valley is flanked by mountains on all sides and to many people defines what Montana is all about—big valleys, tall mountains and wide-open spaces.

The Big Hole River winds it way lazily through this valley before taking a sharp turn to the east and cutting through the mountains. Thick forests, rock cliffs and open agricultural fields provide a wonderful mix along the rivers shoreline and make for great fishing variety. Once the Big Hole River leaves the mountains, it spills out into a massive, sparsely populated arid valley where it continues on towards the confluence with the Beaverhead River near Twin Bridges.
The Big Hole River is nationally known as one of the premiere blue-ribbon trout waters in Montana and for good reason. The river is home to high numbers of wild and large rainbow and brown trout. Excellent brook trout fishing also exists on its upper reaches. Strict fishing regulations on the river help maintain both the fly fishing quality as well as limit the use of the river to some extent, keeping fishing
