Read an Excerpt

Nestled among lodgepole pine and Engelman spruce, this five-acre mountain lake appears to be a thoughtful gift from Mother Nature. In reality, it is man-made, part of a late 1800s mountain reservoir system built to provide water for mining operations further down the mountain. Proving that not every remnant of placer mining is a blight on the landscape, Park Lake's clear water shimmers against its mountain background. Keep this setting in mind to soften the hammering you'll encounter on the road's washboard sections as it climbs from the interstate into the Boulder Mountains. Always a popular escape for Helena valley residents, this area may provide a bit too much activity for those seeking a quiet weekend getaway. But, come Monday, the area returns to its placid mountain splendor.

The 22 sites set along the looped road in the established campground provide the perfect place to set up base camp for a several day stay. Large boulders provide natural play structures for a game of "king of the rock" or a place to perch while reading a book. Trees and shrubs round out the natural barriers providing privacy. Sites 7-10, tucked at the back of the loop, are the quietest and generally provide the best wildlife viewing opportunities. While it may seem the perfect place, avoid camping near the lake. Unregulated camping here has damaged the shoreline and should be avoided to help restore those sections that have been "loved to death".
