Livingston Trails
The City of Livingston is located along the Yellowstone River, at the north end of the Paradise
Valley in Park County Montana, approximately 50 miles north of Yellowstone National Park. Livingston’s breath-taking scenery and abundant outdoor recreational resources are strong tourism attractions, and the community recently has been experiencing rapid growth. Alternative forms of transportation are needed to help reduce capacity demands on the constrained street corridors in this historic community. The city is interested in fostering a more walkable community both in its historic core and out into the newly developing areas on the fringes. RTCA is facilitating the city/county task force, providing expertise in trail and greenway planning, and assisting in development of a trails and greenways network concept plan for the City of
Livingston and surrounding Park County area.

Mayors Landing Yellowstone River Restoration
Livingston, Montana, is a small town of about 8,000 residents located on the great bend of the
Yellowstone River. The Yellowstone is a tremendous asset to the community, providing clean water for agriculture, homes and businesses, habitat for fish and wildlife, and outstanding recreational opportunities. Fishing and boating are significant components of the county’s growing tourist economy. The Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail is located along the banks of the Yellowstone. Mayors Landing, a popular town dog-off-leash park, is located at the confluence of the Yellowsone River and Fleshman Creek. Fleshman Creek, once a side channel of the Yellowstone River, was in sad shape. Gravel mined, ponded, trashed and ignored, the stream corridor had accumulated years of muck and urban pollutants from stormwater runoff and windblown garbage. This project provided an opportunity to re-establish productive use of an important riverfront parcel and its adjacent creek corridor, along with improving recreational trail opportunities and community connectivity. Rivers and Trails staff provided expertise in community visioning, project management, site design, engineering, revegetation, and grant acquisition.
