About Greycliff Prairie Dog Town State Park
This small state park in southeast Montana protects a black-tailed prairie dog colony, preserved through cooperation between Montana State Parks, the Nature Conservancy, and the Montana Department of Transportation. Interpretive displays explain the animals and their role in the prairie ecosystem, where their burrowed mounds create habitat used by owls, ferrets, and plovers. Visitors typically come to observe with binoculars or cameras, and they are asked not to feed the animals. The park offers picnic tables, pack-in and pack-out facilities, and walk-in access even when the park road is closed during severe weather.
