Formed where the Ruby, Big Hole, and Beaverhead converge, the Jefferson River flows broad and unhurried through open country rich with wildlife and dramatic views. Its wide channel and gentle pace make for relaxed floats and expansive casts, while its banks shelter trout waiting for well-placed flies.

With fewer crowds and more solitude, the Jefferson offers a peaceful experience that feels authentically wild. For guests of Healing Waters Lodge, it’s a river that invites reflection—and often surprises with its beauty and generosity.
