You'll Want To Visit These 5 State Parks In Montana That Turn Into Winter Wonderlands
Montana’s state parks are incredible in any season, but most Montanans see them as summertime destinations. However, we happen to believe a few are at their best when there’s snow on the ground. Here are 5 state parks you should visit before spring.


Bannak stays open all winter, and it can be a great time to explore our most well-known ghost town. After exploring the snowy streets, you can head to the frozen dredge pond and go ice skating. Skate rentals and hot drinks are available.

You may not think that fly fishing is a winter activity, but at this picturesque park in Three Forks, you can enjoy it in any season. And even if you don't fish, you'll enjoy taking a snowy stroll through the park.


Kalispell's Lone Pine State Park is the perfect place for a nice winter hike. Not only are the overlooks amazing, it has some pretty fantastic sledding hills.

Eastern Montana's winters can be quite treacherous, but if you can make it, Makoshika State Park is beautiful this time of year. And once the snow really sticks, it's a perfect place to go snowshoeing.
