Hungry Horse Reservoir | Hungry Horse, Montana

There are endless possibilities for stand up paddle boards, kayaks, and canoes on this very large body of water. Campsites range from developed (launch ramps, restrooms, fire rings, camp host) to completely rustic and off the beaten path. Simply enjoy paddling from your campsite, or plan for a longer journey, gear up, and head out for one of the several islands on the reservoir which allow camping.
