About

Little Sandy Coulee Rec Site is a boat launch on Bureau of Land Management land in north-central Montana, about 4 miles from Coal Banks Landing. It is a simple access point for getting a boat onto the water on public land. Typical averages from the nearby weather station at Big Sandy, about 8 miles away, put the warmest stretch in July and August. July highs reach about 86°F with lows near 55°F, and August is nearly identical. June averages around 76°F with the most wet days of the year, about eight, and May has about seven. September stays mild, with highs near 74°F and lows in the mid-40s. By October highs drop to about 59°F, and nights reach freezing. Winter is cold, with January highs around 31°F and lows near 10°F, so late spring through early fall is the practical window for time on the water. Coal Banks Landing, a river fishing spot about 5 miles away, is the closest neighboring destination.
