Here’s Why You Should Plan An Adventure At Montana’s Most Underrated Park
With 55 state parks in Montana (not to mention the natural areas, wildlife refuges and the Crown Jewel of the Continent, Glacier), it’s safe to say that spending time in the great outdoors is pretty easy here. But when summer arrives, most Montanans head to our more well-known spots like Flathead Lake and Bannack, often overlooking some hidden gems in the process.
If you prefer a more rugged experience and want to truly feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere, make this the summer you see Sluice Boxes State Park.

It's pretty primitive here, with steep cliffs, swift waters and rugged terrain making it a little intimidating to visitors.
But you won't find a quieter escape.
The Barker mines and the Montana Central Railroad are part of the park's rich history.
The Belt Creek Canyon is also quite visually stunning.
You might even see some wildlife.
