Fishing Bridge, Yellowstone River, Yellowstone National Park, 1938
01
Artifact Overview
Yellowstone National Park, established 1872, was America's first national park. Fishing Bridge gained its name from a 1902 bridge that once served as Yellowstone's most popular angling location. This newer bridge, completed in 1937, spanned the Yellowstone River near Yellowstone Lake. Fishing was banned there in 1973 to allow the trout to spawn without disruption.
