Lost Creek State Park is in southern Montana, just over 100 miles south of Missoula and 30 miles northwest of Butte. But despite its relatively close distance to these cities, it still offers a feeling of serenity. Lost Creek State Park is 502 acres and is known for its feature 50-foot waterfall in the northwest corner of the park. The park itself sits in a 1,200-foot deep canyon bordered by limestone walls and vivid pink granite rock formations, split up by bands of brilliant green pines. You can spot bighorn sheep and mountain goats on these steep walls if you look closely. Lost Creek is shaded by pines and large stands of aspens that turn bright gold in the fall.
