About This Access Site
**Location & Facilities:** Black Bridge is a boat ramp access site located in Glendive, Dawson County, Montana, on the Yellowstone River. The site offers a boat ramp, parking area, restrooms, picnic tables, and grills—making it a reasonably well-equipped put-in for paddlers and boaters.
**Launch Conditions & Cautions:** Be prepared for challenging launch conditions at this site. Swift current and active erosion around the boat ramp can make launching difficult, particularly during high water periods. Boaters and paddlers should scout the ramp conditions before arrival and allow extra time for launching. The river's current is a factor to consider when planning your paddling route downstream.
**Best For:** This access point is suitable for boaters and paddlers familiar with moving water and able to handle swift currents. It's a practical option for those looking to access this section of the Yellowstone River, though conditions may require caution and experience depending on water levels and seasonal flow.
