The Dillon Ranger District is a Forest Service unit in Montana, about 2.5 miles from the town of Grant. It is a fishing destination, and it is not a place you reserve in advance: the district is not reservable. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 81°F with lows near 44°F, and August is similar at about 79°F. Winters are cold, with January highs near 28°F. For more time on the water, Horse Prairie Creek, a canoeing spot, lies about 7 miles away.
