Gardner River

The Gardner River, which shares its name but not its spelling, with a small town in Montana, is one of the premier fly-fishing rivers in the United States.

New in 2007, this family-friendly hotel offers 5 hot tubs, two heated pools, jacuzzi suites, meeting rooms, and is adjacent to Outback Steakhouse, Costco, Borders and Target.

The river begins in the mountains to the West of Mammoth Hot Springs, at Joseph Peak. It then flows by Mammoth and heads North to the town of Gardiner, where it exits the park. Between Mammoth and Gardiner is considered the best fishing of the river, and a hiking trail runs alongside it in that area.

Floating within the Park is prohibited, but is allowed as soon as the river exits at Gardiner.
