Montana State Park System is divided into seven areas. In the Eastern part of the
State emphasis is placed on preserving the historical sites and heritage of the Native
Americans who once roamed the prairies. The greatest concentration of State Parks
is in the western part where you will find majestic mountains, pristine lakes, and
historical sites going back to the gold rush days.
