Hubbard's Yellowstone Lodge

FreshwaterSeason not confirmedParadise Valley, Tom Miner Basin near Emigrant — Yellowstone River, Yellowstone National Park, Merrell Lake, Tom Miner Creek and the Livingston spring creeks

The Hubbard family started this cattle ranch in Tom Miner Basin, off Paradise Valley and close to Yellowstone National Park, in 1976, and the lodge on it is family-run. Guides take drift boats down the Yellowstone River and wade the rivers in the park, and the ranch has its own water in 85-acre Merrell Lake and Tom Miner Creek, with days on the Livingston spring creeks available to book. Riding and park tours fill days off the water.
