The One Park In Montana With Caves, Camping, And Trails Truly Has It All
Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park was Montana’s first official state park, and to this day, it remains one of the most popular spots for Montanans on vacation. While the cavern itself is absolutely fantastic, there’s much more to the park than that. After you’ve explored the caves, you can take a scenic hike and find a perfect place to camp.
President Theodore Roosevelt used the name Lewis & Clark when he made the caverns a National Monument, which just happened to be on the same day the Grand Canyon received the honor.
Tours are led daily by friendly local guides, and they typically take about two hours to complete. Standard tours are offered from May 1 through September 30.
There are standard tours and special themed tours, like the Winter Holiday Candlelight Tour in December.
This part of Montana has a unique rugged beauty you can't help but love.
There's even a group camp area you can reserve by calling the park.
You can even use it as a base camp for other state parks in the area, as well as the adjacent Jefferson River.
If you’ve never explored Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park, there’s still plenty of time this summer to see all it has to offer. And if you’re looking for an absolutely beautiful place to camp, try one of these state parks.
