THE AREA

Warm Springs located near Deer Lodge, Butte and Anaconda was named for the nearby hot springs.
Nearby Lost Creek State Park features spectacular grey limestone cliffs that rise 1,200 feet above the canyon's narrow floor.
The Pintler Scenic Route, a 63-mile drive, starts in nearby Anaconda, one of Montana's most historic towns and travels to Georgetown Lake and Philipsburg and is a wonderful alternative to Interstate 90 when traveling between Butte and Missoula.
The community is the site of Montana State Hospital, the only long-term psychiatric hospital operated by the state of Montana.
The hospital was founded by the Territorial Government of Montana in 1877.
The State of Montana purchased the hospital in 1912 and renamed it Warm Springs State Hospital in 1965.[3] The "warm springs" are located on the hospital campus.
Hot water seeps from a limestone cone that is about 40 feet high.
The Native Americans called this the "Lodge of the Whitetailed Deer" giving the Deer Lodge Valley its name.
There are no community services other than a bar and convenience store on the frontage road and a post office (zip code 59756) on the hospital campus.
Brown trout fishing can be found in the Clark Fork River just east of Warm Springs and in the ponds on the Warm Springs Wildlife Management Area.
