Pirogue Island State Park
"Hysham visitors often look to Miles City for services and recreation, making the park a natural side trip. The park’s river habitat appeals to those interested in fishing and birding."
Pirogue Island State Park preserves a wooded island and river corridor on the Yellowstone River, providing a close-to-town escape for nature observation and low-key recreation. Visitors come for wildlife viewing, fishing access, and a calm setting that highlights the riparian landscape of eastern Montana.
Chief Plenty Coups State Park
"Hysham visitors may use the park as part of a longer regional road trip. The site offers a distinctive historical stop in an otherwise open prairie landscape."
Chief Plenty Coups State Park features the preserved home, grounds, and burial site of one of the Crow Nation’s most respected leaders. The park offers a peaceful setting for learning about Crow history, leadership, and the changing Northern Plains.
