Sluice Boxes State Park Overlook Access

This overlook and access site sits approximately 13 miles south of Belt, Montana on Highway 89, offering spectacular views into Sluice Boxes Canyon from 200+ feet above Belt Creek.

The location provides direct access to the state park for fishing, hiking, floating, and swimming, with a primitive unmaintained trail leading down to the creek.

Be aware that steep cliffs, rugged terrain, and cold, swift water present hazards; a backcountry campsite permit is required for overnight stays.
