Duck Creek Slipway

Duck Creek Slipway is a boat launch in Montana, set within the Duck Creek Bridge Fishing Access Site about 2.7 miles from the small community of Yegen. The warm months are the most comfortable time to be on the water. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Billings put July highs near 89°F with lows around 57°F, and August is similar at about 87°F and 55°F. June runs a little milder, with highs near 79°F. Shoulder seasons cool off quickly: May averages highs around 69°F and is the wettest month, with about 13 days of precipitation, while September brings highs near 76°F and October about 61°F. Winter is cold, with January highs around 37°F and lows near 15°F. The station sits at nearly the same elevation as the launch, so these figures are a close guide. For time off the water, the Shiloh Conservation Trail is about 4.4 miles away. The climbing areas at Gregory and the Billings Rimrocks lie roughly 8.5 miles out, and the Rims Mountain Bike Path is close by at about 8.9 miles.
