These spectacular gray limestone cliffs and pink and white granite formations
rise 1,200 feet above the canyon floor a short way outside industrial Anaconda.
You’re likely to see wildlife in this park and you will enjoy a short hiking
trail to Lost Creek Falls cascading over a 50-foot drop to provide one of the
most popular spots in the park. If you prefer a longer hike, walk up the Forest
Service trail just north of the falls parking area. The trail winds for several
miles along Lost Creek through forests and meadows with great views of the
surrounding mountains. Wildlife, especially mountain goats and bighorn sheep,
are frequently seen on the cliffs above.
Lost Creek State Park is located on Lost Creek at river mile 18. Lost Creek is
the only access site along Lost Creek maintained by FWP. Lost Creek is a
tributary of the Clark Fork River.
Directions
1.5 miles east of Anaconda on Montana 1, then 2 miles north on Secondary 273,
