Yellowstone River Parks Association

Supporting parks and trails along the Yellowstone River

Since 1991, Yellowstone River Parks Association has worked to improve access and use along the Yellowstone River by developing parks and trails. Our impact has grown to include 2,000 acres of natural park space in Yellowstone County, visited by hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

The Yellowstone is the longest free-flowing river in the lower 48 states. The mission of YRPA is to support access and use of the beautiful Yellowstone River Greenway by improving parks and trails. We either own or help to manage more than 2,000 acres of natural park land in and near Billings, Montana.

Volunteer

The only way this work gets done is when people get involved. Our volunteers put in more than 8,000 collective hours of effort each year, from cutting and maintaining trails to leading nature walks to pulling invasive weeds to planting trees to community outreach. Join us!
