SiG MT 49 Beginning at its northernmost border just 10 miles south of Havre, Beaver Creek Park stretches along Highway 234 for approximately 17 miles, providing ample opportunities for fishing, hiking, camping, kayaking, horseback riding, stargazing, berry picking and much more. Long before it was formally established as the Beaver Creek Playground in 1916, soldiers from nearby Fort Assiniboine used the area to picnic and camp, according to local historians. Today, Beaver Creek Park is the largest county-owned park in the United States. Water Recreation DAY TRIP One fantastic fishing opportunity lies just inside the park's northern border at Beaver Creek Reservoir. Referred to as "Lower Lake," or "First Lake" by many locals, the reservoir is home to yellow perch, walleye, rainbow trout, smallmouth bass and northern pike. Wakes are not permied on the reservoir, but kayakers, paddleboarders, canoers, and boaters using motors of 10-horsepower or less are always welcome. Another prime fishing area is Bear Paw Lake (also known as "Upper Lake" or "Second Lake"), located just a few minutes south on Highway 234. e lake contains smallmouth bass, brook trout, and rainbow trout, and is a popular recreation area for campers. Motorized boat use is not permied on Bear Paw Lake. Anglers also frequently fish along the miles and miles of creeks throughout the park. Beaver Creek Park northern entry sign.
