A historic, 585-foot-tall smoke tower, the world's tallest free standing masonry structure, is the only structure in Anaconda visible from the interstate. The surrounding dense timber forests serve not only as a privacy-invoking backdrop for the town but as a home to local wildlife and a multitude of recreational activities, including cross-country skiing, hunting and camping. The region is populated with golf courses, hiking trails, lakes and a ski resort just 15 minutes away in the Rocky Mountains. At Lost Creek State Park, visitors have the chance to see 1,200-ft (366 m) limestone cliffs as well as Lost Creek Falls, which drop 50 ft (15 m) into the basin below. Whether looking to enjoy the scenery provided by Mount Haggin, relax on a sandy beach or take part in one of the numerous year-round activities, Anaconda provides a location ideal for those looking to embrace southwestern Montana.
