Eureka, Montana
You can see the Larch trees changing colors near Eureka.
Eureka is set on the Tobacco River and is known as the banana belt of Montana, for the mild climate and great growing season. Eureka has a small downtown area and although it is not in any way upscale it is charming. There is an old historic building district that is lovely to see in the fall when the larch trees are turning colors.
There are plenty of lakes for fishing, and plenty of campgrounds in the area as well. There is the Ten Lakes scenic area which is just North of Eureka and has several hiking trails. Paradise and Bluebird Lakes are the closest to hike to and offer amazing lake and mountain views with some good trout fishing.
Eureka is about an hour north of Whitefish, Montana, where you’ll find great skiing and snowboarding at Whitefish Mountain Resort.
In the winter you might want to try some of the cross country trails for skiing or hop on a snowmobile in the Birch Creek Recreation Area.
