Good to know
Helena-Lewis & Clark NF. 25 sites, summer-fall; mandatory bear food storage; ~30 miles of dirt road west of Augusta. CONTRADICTION RECORDED: the FS amenity section says potable water is not available, while state tourism listings report hand pumps - plan as no potable water. Third-party listings report a 35-ft max trailer length; not stated on the FS page, so max rig not listed.
