Anaconda pairs storied mining-era architecture with easy mountain access, creating a place where weekends often start with coffee downtown and end under starry skies. Explore its industrial legacy at Anaconda Smoke Stack State Park, home to the colossal 585-foot stack that defines the skyline, then swap boots for clubs at Old Works Golf Course, a Jack Nicklaus–designed course built on reclaimed smelter grounds. Powder days call at Discovery Ski Area above Georgetown Lake, and trip ideas, festivals, and trail tips are neatly compiled by Discover Anaconda.
As the county seat of Deer Lodge County, Anaconda offers practical convenience alongside scenery.

Neighborhoods range from restored brick Victorians to quiet side streets with mountain views, and you’re an easy drive to job centers and universities in Butte and Missoula, with the boutique shops and summer events of Philipsburg just over the pass.
Whether your ideal day involves casting for trout, catching a classic film at the Washoe Theater, or hosting friends for a barbecue after a quick trail loop, Anaconda delivers a lifestyle that feels both grounded and open-ended.
