The road getting to our KOA is at times a little rough. The road is maintained by the state and there are plans to redo the road, but that project is a few years out. Please take your time and drive slowly.

Fishing is one of the top outdoor activities in Paradise Valley, and staying at Livingston / Paradise Valley KOA Holiday places you near some of the best fishing waters in southwest Montana. With the Yellowstone River flowing through the valley and multiple creeks, reservoirs, and spring-fed waters nearby, anglers of all skill levels can enjoy a productive and scenic fishing experience just minutes from Livingston, Montana.
The Yellowstone River is the most well-known fishing destination in the area and is world-famous for its blue-ribbon trout fishing. Anglers can expect to find rainbow trout, brown trout, cutthroat trout, and mountain whitefish throughout the river. The stretch near Livingston is especially popular due to its wide access points, diverse water conditions, and consistent fish populations. Whether fly fishing from the bank or floating the river, the Yellowstone offers excellent opportunities throughout the fishing season.
Spring creeks and tributaries around Paradise Valley provide a quieter fishing experience and are known for their clear water and healthy trout populations. Depuy Spring Creek and Armstrong Spring Creek are well-known in the region for fly fishing, offering chances to catch large brown and rainbow trout. While some spring creeks require access fees or reservations, they are prized for technical fishing and consistent hatches, making them a favorite for experienced anglers.
Nearby rivers such as the Shields River and Boulder River also offer great fishing opportunities within a short drive of Livingston. The Shields River is a popular spot for anglers seeking a smaller river experience with rainbow and brown trout, especially during spring runoff and early summer. The Boulder River provides cold, fast-moving water ideal for trout and is a scenic option for those looking to combine fishing with mountain views and less-crowded conditions.
For anglers interested in lake fishing, several nearby reservoirs provide opportunities to target species beyond trout. Dailey Lake, a short drive from Paradise Valley, is known for rainbow trout and kokanee salmon. Canyon Ferry Lake, located farther north, offers a wider variety of species including walleye, perch, smallmouth bass, and trout, making it a versatile destination for both boat and shore fishing.
