Location & Access

East Ridge Park is accessed seasonally via Forest Service roads, with motorized travel permitted in the winter months and horse or foot access allowed during the summer. This seasonal approach helps preserve the natural setting and offers a quiet, undisturbed environment during peak months. The property’s location just three miles west of Delmoe Lake and near Our Lady of the Rockies provides a scenic and peaceful entry point into a truly incredible stretch of Montana.

Contenentail Divide Trail: The Continental Divide Trail (CDT) is a 3,100-mile National Scenic Trail that follows the spine of the Rocky Mountains from Canada to Mexico. Established in 1978, it traces the hydrological divide between the Atlantic and Pacific watersheds and is considered one of the most remote and challenging long-distance trails in the country.

A portion of the CDT crosses the western edge of East Ridge Park, making this property one of the few in Montana with direct access to this nationally significant route. Here, the trail winds through the Deerlodge National Forest—offering access to a landscape of timbered ridgelines, open meadows, and sweeping solitude. With proximity to landmarks like Delmoe Lake and Our Lady of the Rockies, this section of the trail offers both scenic beauty and a strong sense of place.

For those seeking privacy, recreational access, and a tangible connection to one of the country’s great public trail systems, East Ridge Park offers a rare and meaningful opportunity.
