Join the Great Migration west—to Cooney State Park, that is, where it might just feel like everyone and their grandmother has ventured for the weekend. But Cooney’s got plenty of mountain views to go around, and you sure won’t be left wondering why Montana’s called Big Sky Country here. Fish for walleye and rainbow trout, sail or motor across the endless reservoir, or plop down on the beach with your camera. We promise any photograph taken here will be your desktop background for the next five years, minimum. Cooney State Park doesn’t believe outdoor fun should be left to the summer months. It’s the ideal winter training camp for snowshoe or ice fishing enthusiasts, far away from the busy summer crowds.
