Between Missoula and the Idaho border sits a fisherman’s paradise, the Bonanza Lakes. These more than 40 lakes are nestled in the northern Bitterroot mountain range and are just waiting for you to explore them. Grab your hiking gear, tent and fishing pole, and head west to any one of these lakes for a great weekend escape or week long camping excursion. These lakes are a great getaway for those who want to enjoy nature.

If you want to enjoy nature, but don’t want to be the only people for miles around, then you should find your way to a couple of the most popular lakes in Mineral County, Diamond Lake and Cliff Lake. These lakes are among the easiest to access, and therefore they have the most visitors on average. Either of these lakes would be a great place to spend a long, relaxing weekend.

If you are looking for an event that is a little less relaxing, and a little more dirty, then look no farther than Mineral County. Montana Mudfest is just what it sounds like, a three day long mud party. Events at this festival of dirt range from mud wrestling and beer pong to bikini contests and mud drags. A live band will also be on hand too. This year’s Montana Mudfest will be held June 21-23 in Haugan.
