There are around 120 known waterfalls in Montana, and we have no doubt there are many more hidden gems hidden in the depths of the Treasure State. Fortunately, many of our most iconic falls sit at the end of fairly easy hiking trails, making them easily accessible for most.
The Crow Creek Falls Trail isn’t an extraordinarily difficult one, but there are a lot of factors that prevent most Montanans from ever seeing it. The trailhead isn’t easy to find, the route is often closed due to weather, and unfortunately, the path to the waterfall isn’t the most well-marked. However, if you’re able to find it, it’s absolutely worth making the journey.
Crow Creek Falls sits nestled in Helena National Forest, not far from the tiny town of Radersburg (population 61).
Spend some time here, enjoying all the views ... not only is it beautiful and peaceful, it happens to be a great spot for a picnic.
This will mark the halfway point of your hike and the official end of your trail, so you can either go back the way you came or extend your hike with trail #112 near the falls that takes you deeper into the Elkhorn Mountains.
If there are no road closures, you'll turn south at the intersection with Forest Road #405 for another couple of miles before arriving at the trailhead.
