So uncompromised and breathtakingly beautiful that it stood in for the Big Blackfoot in the Robert Redford movie, A River Runs Through It, the 97-mile long Gallatin River is renowned for its spectacular scenery, blue ribbon trout fishery, roiling whitewater rapids, and abundant wildlife. From its source in the remote northwest corner of Yellowstone National Park to its confluence with the Madison and Jefferson rivers at Three Forks, the Gallatin River features some of the cleanest water and best public access of any major river in the northern Rockies. The most serious threats to the Gallatin River come from rapid development in the resort community of Big Sky and riverside housing developments further downstream in the booming Gallatin Valley. In an attempt to preserve its special attributes for generations to come, GYC and its allies in the fishing and conservation communities are seeking to get the Gallatin River designated as Montana’s first Outstanding Resource Water. ORW status would prohibit any new point sources of pollution that would permanently degrade the Gallatin River’s exceptional water quality.
