Located in central Montana, the Helena National Forest surrounds the capital city of Helena. The Forest contains 976,000 acres and is one of 10 National Forests in the state. The Forest is sprinkled with history from native American inhabitants to early explorers to the booming days of gold mining. The natural beauty of the Helena National Forest is complemented by outstanding opportunities for fishing the Blackfoot and Missouri Rivers, hiking along the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, and viewing magnificent big game in the 129,000-acre Elkhorn Wildlife Management Unit.
Directions
