Anaconda Smoke Stack State Park

Very informative on some of Anacondas history. Was good to visit finally after 3 months of being in town.

Good water available. Not too many nice tent sights. Swift water flows nearby.

I haven't been there yet.

The history is cool. It's really, just a stop off for info sort of place, kinda like a memorial. There's nothing else there, like no camping, no picnic table, no bathroom, but for what it is, it's neat.

The site has good information on the smelter, it's relationship to the Butte copper mine, and other historic facts about the people involved during the heyday of copper mining in the area.nThe unfortunate thing is that can't get anywhere near the stack.nOn the information plaques, it's compared to the Washington Monument, and the fact that the smelter stack is taller. This is somewhat of a useless comparison since you can walk right up to the Washington Monument, but can only observe the stack from a noticable distance.
