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.
Jessica Riddle / alltrails.com 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.

After just under 3 miles of hiking, you’ll come to Crow Creek Falls.

This is one of Montana’s most beautiful hidden wonders. In fact, it’s called the Crown Jewel of the Elkhorn Mountains.

The falls have only been public property since 2004, when the Helena National Forest purchased them.
