Local Area Named after the largest landowner in the area, Radersburg emerged around 1866 as a mining town and experienced a significant growth spurt in the late 1860s. By 1871, the town boasted a top-notch establishment, the two-story log Freemont Hotel. Radersburg takes pride in being the birthplace of Myrna Loy, a renowned early film star born in 1905. Today, the town acts as a gateway to the Elkhorn Mountains region within the Helena National Forest. Towards the west of Radersburg, the Crow Creek Trail runs alongside Crow Creek leading to Crow Creek Falls. The trails in the area, including Crow Creek Trail, offer excellent stream fishing opportunities, while the Elkhorn Mountains present various options for hiking, backpacking, camping, and snowmobiling. Between all of the major cities in Montana is the county seat of Broadwater County, Townsend. Located in the Missouri River Valley between the Big Belt and the Elkhorn Mountains, where the Missouri River opens into Canyon Ferry Lake (Montana's 3rd largest body of water), Townsend was named by railroad officials in 1883. It was then that a rail stop was made because businesses were becoming more established to support the gold mining in this region. Land lots then were just $5 apiece! Famed explorers Lewis and Clark traveled through in 1805. The mighty Missouri River borders the town, and the area is nicknamed the "Valley of Adventure" because of the vast outdoor opportunities that are readily available. Large areas of BLM and state land surround the town. Townsend is just 15 minutes from Canyon Ferry Lake which is one of Montana's most sought-after recreational spots. The lake provides activities of boating, ice boat sailing, year-round fishing for Trout, Salmon, Perch, and Walleye, camping, sightseeing, picnicking, hiking, hunting, and swimming. It is also conveniently near 4 major ski areas ranging from 1.5 to 3 hours away. In addition, the Broadwater County Museum is located in Townsend and holds unique artifacts such as an authentic painted buffalo robe. A short drive of 35 minutes will get you to the state capital of Helena. Area Attractions Canyon Ferry Lake The Canyon Ferry Valley is rich with recreational opportunities!
