Montana’s welcoming summer waters annually draw anglers, hikers, wildlife viewers, campers, floaters and boaters into the outdoors. Yet, it’s still pretty easy to have a great summer experience on Montana’s rivers.

Here are some examples of basic river etiquette: Respect People’s Space and Privacy – The point at which someone feels crowded is subjective, but every outdoor activity requires space.
