Lost Creek State Park

Lost Creek State Park is a natural area featuring grey limestone cliffs and pink granite formations spread across 502 acres. The rock walls create a dramatic canyon system with waterfalls and hiking trails throughout the landscape.

The area was added to the Montana State Parks system in 1957 to protect the natural limestone cliffs and waterfalls. This designation preserved the landscape for public use and recreation over the decades since.

Visitors come here to watch golden eagles, mountain goats, and bighorn sheep moving freely through the canyons and cliffs. The wildlife shapes how people experience and value this place as a wild refuge.

The park charges an entrance fee for non-resident vehicles, while Montana residents with current vehicle registration enter free. Camping sites and trails are available throughout the grounds for different activity levels.

A waterfall within the park drops dramatically and is surrounded by colored granite formations that hikers encounter along the trails. This feature remains less noticed than attractions in neighboring areas.
