Cascade Picnic Area is located in the canyon bottom along the Clark Fork River. The site is adjacent to the highway and across the road from the river, and forested with Douglas-fir, ponderosa pine and western larch providing abundant shade.

This is a beautiful day use picnic area that does not charge a fee and does not require reservations. It is located within the campground.

There are lots of wonderful fishing opportunities in the area and there are many sports fish species such as brook trout, mountain whitefish, northern pike, rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, westslope cutthroat trout, yellow perch, and brown trout but be sure to have a proper and valid Montana fishing license before throwing in your line.

Non-motorized boating is a great way to view wildlife and appreciate the landscape in the area. Motorized boating is permitted on the water, so most non-motorized boats find areas away from high traffic watercraft use. Early mornings are also a good time for non-motorized craft.

There are vault toilets and drinking water available.

While enjoying the great outdoors remember to keep the wilderness wild by cleaning up after yourself. It is very important that we keep our National Forests clean because they are some of the last places in the world where nature has a home. National Forests are a place where animals live, trees grow, and people enjoy themselves. Remember to that anything you bring into the Forest needs to be taken back out. Pack it in, pack it out!
