Duck Creek is primarily a meadow stream that flows from Yellowstone National
Park about 7 or 8 miles north of West Yellowstone. The main tributary of Duck
Creek is Maple Creek. Maple Creek is also called Cougar Creek. It crosses
highway #191 north of West Yellowstone, Montana. Campanula , Gneiss Creek,
Richards and Cougar Creek are all small tributary streams to Duck Creek.
Access:
You can access Duck Creek by taking highway #191 north from West
Yellowstone and then taking the Duck Creek Road.
These are willow and grass bank streams with slow moving water. Travel in the
area is restricted by the Bear Management Plan. Smaller brown and brook trout
are its resident fish but spawning fish out of Hebgen Lake migrate into the
stream.
Comments:
These streams are rarely used by anyone other than the locals. They are
sleepers in our opinion. At the right time of the season they can produce plenty of
fish. These beautiful scenes were taken not far from highway #191.
