Lost Creek State Park lies six miles north of Anaconda, Montana, at the ragged tail end of the chevron-peaked Flint Creek Mountain Range. Within the park’s 502 acres, limestone cliffs and painted rock formations rise 1,200 feet above the canyon floor, carved and weathered by time.
At the far end of a box canyon within
the park, the cliffs gather close, the air cools, and Lost Creek Falls spills
fifty feet down a broken staircase of stone, its waters chattering through the
narrow gorge.
If you have reason to be driving near
or through Anaconda and have a few minutes of spare time, taking the short
diversion to see Lost Creek Falls is well worth the effort. We did that just
yesterday. The cool, misted air near the falls felt especially good on the hot
summer day.
