The spectacular gray limestone cliffs and pink and white granite formations rise 1,200 feet above the canyon floor a short way outside Anaconda. 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 the park.
The 25 campsites at Lost Creek State park are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Each campsite has a picnic table and a fire grill and will accomodate one vehicle or 25 foot R.V. Drinking water, garbage cans and vault toilets are near-by. A toilet, one campsite with table, cement pad, and fire grill is accessible to people with disabilities.
