Hebgen Lake runs 16-miles long and the area provides a number of campgrounds. Most of the arms of the lake offer good fly fishing for boats or float tubes. For camping information contact the Hebgen Lake Ranger District, PO Box 520, West Yellowstone, MT 59758 or call (406) 646-7369. All Hebgen Lake Ranger District fee sites are available to reserve on the recreation reservation system by calling 1-800-280-2267. Hebgen Lake offers seven campgrounds. Rainbow Point Campground and Baker's Hole campground exclude tent camping because of bear activity. Baker's Hole Campground is right on the Madison River just above where it joins the Madison Arm of Hebgen Lake. Anglers will find a white stake denoting the Park boundary.
