Hell Creek State Park

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.
