The Secret Waterfall In Montana That Most People Don’t Know About

Montana has an abundance of stunning waterfalls scattered around the state, especially in the Glacier National Park area. But we’ve also got some stunning hidden gems most tourists don’t know about, and some of them are fairly easy to reach. The next time you’re near Townsend and you’re up for a bit of a hike, check out the Crow Creek Falls Trail.

The Crow Creek Falls Trail is located near the tiny town of Radersburg in Broadwater County.

To reach, it head down highway 285 through Radersburg and drive for about 13 miles to the Jenkins Gulch intersection. Turn right at the TR. 109 sign and park at the Jump Off trailhead.
The trail is about 5.6 miles out and back, but it's a fairly easy trek.

As you can see, it's well worth the hike.
This is one of Montana's most beautiful hidden wonders. In fact, it's called the Crown Jewel of the Elkhorn Mountains.

You'll want to spend plenty of time relaxing here and taking it all in.
The falls have only been public property since 2004, when the Helena National Forest purchased them.

If you take this trail in the morning or during the week, you just might have it all to yourself.

But even if you share the journey with a few fellow Montanans, the area stays more secluded than some of the other nearby trails.

The Crow Creek Falls Trail is perfect for a late spring or summer day hike. And if you love our Montana waterfalls, we’ve got the ultimate bucket list for you.
