SaveLocated approximately 18 miles north of Billings, the Acton Recreation Area consists of an extremely diverse landscape. With Cretaceous Age upland bluffs of Eagle sandstone, minor badlands, steep drainages, weathered shale, and scattered ponderosa pine, this 3,800 acre parcel of land allows for many wildlife viewing opportunities. Open to camping, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and hunting (during season), Acton provides multiple possibilities for use year-round. About 6.6 miles of mapped roads are open for motorized use.
BLM, Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) and the local mountain biking club have spent countless hours developing this area into a recreation destination. This includes vaulted toilets, picnic area, established campsites and almost a dozen mountain biking trails for all skill levels, including a kid's loop.
