Overview

About

Up Hell Creek without a paddle…

that’s how the saying goes, right? Actually, you

better

not forget your paddle on a visit to Hell Creek State Park, the perfect launching point for boating around your own little arm of the Missouri River. There’s terrific walleye fishing and ideal conditions for any kind of watersport you can think of. Swim through the crystal blue water with the jagged, rocky mountainside at your back, or windsurf at sunset for calm waters and a sky so orange and red you’ll think you really

are

in a creek to Hell. Keep an eye out for deer, owls, and antelope, too. That is, if you can keep your eyes away from the stunning breaks carved into the land by the Missouri River. Waterskiing thrill-seekers will be just as satisfied as big-sky daydreamers here at Hell Creek.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Hell Creek State Park is from late spring to early fall, when the weather is warm and the park's full splendor is on display. Summer months offer the best conditions for water activities and wildlife spotting. Winter can be harsh, with limited access and services, so it's less recommended for visits.

Know before you go

  • Check the park's website for any restrictions or closures before your visit.
  • Ensure you have a valid park pass and are aware of the entrance fees.
  • Wear appropriate clothing and footwear for hiking and bring plenty of water.
  • Be mindful of wildlife and maintain a safe distance at all times.
  • Remember to pack out all your trash and leave no trace to preserve the park's natural beauty.
