Rosebud Battlefield State Park
Rosebud Battlefield State Park, a National Historic Landmark on the rolling prairie of eastern Montana, preserves the site of the June 17, 1876, battle that was a harbinger to the Battle of Little Bighorn. Also known as the Battle of Rosebud Creek, the battle was between the United States Army and its Crow and Shoshoni allies against a force consisting mostly of Lakota Sioux and Northern Cheyenne Indians during the Great Sioux War of 1876. Remote, quiet and undeveloped, the 3052-acre state park remains much the same as it was during the time of the battle in the 1870s, though the park does not cover the entire battle grounds. It features interpretive trails, markers, and a visitor center with exhibits and artifacts. For generations before the battle, many peoples used the Rosebud Valley for hunting and gathering, including a cliff site used as a “buffalo jump” still marked with petroglyphs.

Gauley River
The Gauley River National Recreation Area is one of the most popular destinations for whitewater boaters in the eastern United States. The Gauley River, which runs through the park, is home to several class V+ rapids, making it a challenging and exciting place to boat. The park also includes a 5.5-mile segment of the Meadow River, which is perfect for those looking for a more relaxing float trip. The only area of the park that is accessible by road is the Summersville Dam, which is located at the upstream end of the park. The rest of the park can only be reached by traveling via the river, making it a truly unique destination. Because much of the national recreation area is only accessible via the river, boaters must be prepared for a long day of paddling. The park features beautiful sandstone cliffs, lush forests, and crystal-clear pools of water.
