Everything about Big Horn River totally explained
The
Bighorn River is a
tributary of the
Yellowstone, approximately 461 mi (742 km) long, in the western
United States in the states of
Wyoming and
Montana.
The upper reaches of the Bighorn, south of the
Owl Creek Mountains in Wyoming, are known as the
Wind River. The two rivers are sometimes referred to as the Wind/Bighorn. The Wind River officially becomes the Bighorn River at the Wedding of the Waters, on the north side of the Wind River Canyon near the town of
Thermopolis. From there, it flows through the
Bighorn Basin in North Central Wyoming, passing through Thermopolis and
Hot Spring State Park.
At the border with Montana, the river turns northeast, and flows past the north end of the Bighorns, through the
Crow Indian Reservation, where the
Yellowtail Dam forms the
reservoir Bighorn Lake. The reservoir and the surrounding
gorge are part of the
Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area.
It is joined by the
Little Bighorn River near the town of
Hardin, Montana. Approximately fifty miles further downriver, it joins the Yellowstone.
