About 25 miles from Dillon, Montana, Beaverhead/Deer Lodge National Forest is the largest national forest in Montana at 3.36 million acres. There are also local attractions within the Forest such as: Clark Canyon Reservoir, The Big Hole, Snowcrest Range and Hogback Mountain.
The Big Hole
The Big Hole is named because it is a valley in the middle of the Beaverhead Mountains and, from the air, looks like a hole carved out of the mountains. There was a battle there some time ago and today is home to numerous ranches and a few thousand cows, horses and bison.
Clark’s Canyon Reservoir
Seven thousand feet above sea level lay the pristine waters of Clark’s Canyon Reservoir. Gasoline powered boats have long been banned at the Lake and the only sound one hears is the singing of the local bird population. It is beautiful.
Snowcrest Range/Hogback Mountain
The main draw is the spectacular views and wildlife. This mountain range is about 30 minutes east of Dillon, Montana.
