Placid Lake State Park, State park in Missoula County, United States.
The 31-acre recreation area sits at 4,124 feet elevation on the eastern shore of Placid Lake, connecting to Owl Creek and the Clearwater River.
Hiram Blanchard, arriving from New York in 1892, named the lake after Lake Placid in the Adirondack Mountains while establishing the Clearwater Land and Livestock Company.
The park maintains interpretive displays about historical logging practices, showcasing large western larch tree remnants throughout the park grounds.
The park provides 40 campsites with electrical connections, a boat launch, swimming areas, and remains open from May through November for motorized access.
Montana residents receive special entry privileges through their vehicle registration, while non-residents pay specific fees based on their mode of entry.
