Black Sandy State Park, State park on Hauser Lake in Montana, US
Black Sandy State Park is a state park with over 40 acres of shoreline on Hauser Lake northeast of Helena, providing camping and water recreation. The facility includes both electrical and basic campsites to suit different visitor needs.
The land was originally managed by a utility company and transferred to the state wildlife department in 1980 as public recreation space. This handover converted the shoreline into an accessible destination for the region.
The park sits along a route that commemorates early exploration of the region, connecting visitors to this historical journey through the landscape.
The park is easily accessible by car with parking available near the campsites and facilities. Water conditions are best during warmer months when the lake is fully open for swimming and fishing.
The park sits at an elevation where visitors can fish for multiple trout varieties and perch in mountain lake water. This combination of altitude and fishing diversity creates a memorable experience often overlooked by casual park visitors.
