Reviews of LeHardy Rapids
"This is a must see for adults and children alike as it provides a great opportunity to see large native cutthroat trout migrating upstream to spawn near the Yellowstone Lake outlet. The rapids are created by the combination of a downward slope in the river and large boulders spread across the river which is rather wide at this spot. The peak season for the migration and best chance to see the leaping trout is late June and July. Sometime in July, the salmon fly hatch will occur on this section of the river and you can see the cutthroat trout rise to sip in the large orange-colored flies that happen to land in the water near the river’s edge. It makes for a unique sight delivered by one of Yellowstone’s true natives. There is a restroom here and a flight of stairs beginning at the parking level that takes you down to the river’s level and then along the river for over 100 yards. Platform overlooks along the route provide some unique opportunities to spot the large cutthroat leaping up the cascade steps or hunkered down next to boulders near the river’s edge. If you look carefully you can often see the fish next to the rocks, but many will simply miss the view as they pass by unaware."
"Another must stop. Views were beautiful."
"Beautiful place. Perfect for photography"
"Rapids is probably not the first word if choose to describe this area of slightly faster moving water, but still worth a stop!"
"LeHardy's Rapids is a part of the Yellowstone River where the river bed drops a little bit, throwing the water against large rocks creating turbulent white water. This is also considered to be the geological boundary of Yellowstone Lake. There are two pullouts from which you can access the rapids, both will get you to the rapids via a short trail or boardwalk. The lower pullout also offers a small picnic area with two tables right along side the Yellowstone River. The river is pretty wide here and the rapids are most impressive in late spring to early summer when the snowmelt runoff is at its highest. If you are here in late June and July, you will likely see native Cutthroat Trout leaping into the air, working their way up the rapids during their spawning run."
