Hebgen Lake is located in southwest Montana, about 20 minutes from West Yellowstone (north + west) and one-hour south of Big Sky and is created by Hebgen Dam. Hebgen Dam was built across the Madison River in 1914 by Montana Power Company to create Hebgen Lake. It is well known for the 1959 Hebgen Lake earthquake which occurred nearby on August 17, 1959, forming Quake Lake which is located immediately downstream.
The lake is located beneath the breath taking mountains of the Centennial Range, Madison Range and the Gallatin Range which all provide a breathtaking backdrop for outdoor enthusiast, fishermen, photographers, wildlife watchers, as well as, artists.
