Beaver Creek Park

Imagine a 10,000-acre expanse of rolling grasslands, shaded by groves of pine, aspen, and cottonwood, with cold, clear streams cutting through rugged rocky cliffs—this is Beaver Creek Park, the largest county park in the United States. Located just 20 miles south of Havre, Montana, in the foothills of the Bears Paw Mountains, this park offers rustic, primitive camping for those seeking a serene escape into nature without the distractions of modern amenities.

Campers will find no power, water, or sewer hookups here, but the simplicity is part of its charm for those who value quiet solitude and a connection to the land. Popular pastimes include fishing in the park’s two scenic lakes, wildlife spotting, hiking, and picnicking. The Bear Paw Nature Trail, a 3.5-mile interpretive path, invites visitors to learn about the area’s unique flora, fauna, and history.

In addition to its on-site attractions, Beaver Creek Park's proximity to nearby natural highlights, such as Mount Otis and Beaver Creek Reservoir, makes it ideal for day trips and short adventures. The park’s unspoiled beauty and tranquil setting make it a perfect destination for weekend getaways, offering a true retreat into one of Montana's lesser-known, yet stunningly authentic landscapes.
