Bean Lake
.gif)
Bean Lake is an attractive, small lake that sits on the edge of the
Rocky Mountain Front near the Scapegoat Wilderness and just a short hop
away from the Dearborn
River.
Access to the lake is excellent. The Bean Lake Fishing Access Site surrounds
half the lake. The other half of the lake is private land that has cattle
frequently grazing right down to the shore of the lake.
The primary fish species in the lake are rainbow trout, which are planted
each year by the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Department.
The lake is quite isolated, lying about fifteen miles away from the
small town of Augusta. To get to the lake from Augusta, go south on the
Stearns-Augusta road and then follow the signs to Bean Lake.
Free camping is found all along the lake, which is good, since the nearest
lodging is quite some distance away. A boat ramp exists at the fishing
access site, although both a float
tube and a small
inflatable kayak can also work well if the winds are not strong.
