Local Area Attractions Near Townsend / Canyon Ferry Lake KOA Journey

Townsend/Canyon Ferry Lake KOA is steps away from the Boat Docks on the south end of the lake. A nice walk about and you can spy moose, pronghorn, grouse, and many varieties of song birds. Or launch your boat and motorboat around the lake to fish for trout, walleye, carp or perch.

A short drive south is Duck pond #4 causeway. This easy walkabout has wild deer, red foxes, nesting eagles and flights of swans, snow geese, and cranes.

Up the side of the mountain are harder hiking trails and 4 wheeler trails for the more adventurous adventurer! 

This area is full of history museums and drives, too! The Lewis and Clark driving tour runs right past Canyon Ferry Lake KOA. Helena has several good museums and the Capitol has some interesting architecture to appreciate. 

What ever the weather or your inclination, Townsend/Canyon Ferry Lake KOA has something to pique your interest!
