Winter Activities

Whether its ice fishing or kite skating on Georgetown Lake or skiing at Discovery, winter is a great time to explore southwest Montana just outside of Butte.  Snowmobiling, downhill skiing and cross-country skiing, and ice fishing are just a few of the adventures you can experience on public lands.  Groomed and ungroomed snowmobile trails will take visitors to high mountain areas with panoramic views.  Cross-country skiing on groomed trails for touring and skate skiing offer great views and adventures.
