3.4 miles round-trip. Easy to moderate. Slough Creek Trail is a 20.3-mile trail that runs from the Slough Creek Campground to the north boundary of Yellowstone National Park. The trail follows the Slough Creek all the way, passing across broad, open meadows and running through stands of tall Douglas fir. After 2 miles it meets the first meadow and the junction with the Buffalo Fork Trail. At 8 miles, it reaches the second meadow and meets the Bliss Pass Trail. For the first 11 miles the trail follows an old unused wagon road. The creek is very popular with anglers as it is full of cutthroat and rainbow trout. Keep an eye out for moose, bison, and bears; it is their territory.
