Upper Missouri River Breaks—Montana

Interactive Map

Planning Tips

  1. There are primarily BLM campgrounds on this map. Further east and west, you will find more options. See the Campgrounds map.

  2. Nearby destinations include Grasslands National Park, Cypress Hills and Writing on Stone (all in Canada). This is also a great stopping off point on the way to or from Glacier National Park.

  3. There are no major metropolitan areas nearby, but Malta, Lewistown or Fort Benton will be able to satisfy most basic service and entertainment needs.

  4. This area is remote and water in the campgrounds cannot be trusted. Be sure to plan accordingly.

Highlights

Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument preserves numerous geological, archeological and historical spaces along 149 miles of the Missouri River. The Bureau of Land Management has managed the monument since it was created in 2001.

The area is remote, but beautiful. It is also filled with geologic and historic sites.

Grazing, hunting and fishing are authorized in the monument. Other recreational activities include hiking, boating and camping.

This is a multi-day stop or a great stop along the way to Glacier National Park or destinations in Saskatchewan and Alberta.
