FORT SMITH

Fort C.F. Smith was established in 1866 to protect those traveling along the Bozeman Trail. Today, the nearby Bighorn Lake extends approximately 71 miles across Wyoming and Montana; 55 miles of the lake are held within spectacular Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, which includes a visitor information center. The Bighorn River below the Afterbay Dam and Campground is a world-class trout fishing area and numerous fishing outfitters dot the valley.
