About Moon Lake
Moon Lake invites visitors seeking a quiet outdoor destination in Carbon County, Montana. Its modest size of 78 acres provides a peaceful setting for nature lovers and anglers alike. The lake's very shallow depth creates a unique environment that feels accessible and intimate, perfect for those who appreciate calm waters and natural surroundings. Though there are no towns nearby, the lake's location offers a retreat from busier areas. Its shallow waters mean the lake warms quickly in summer and freezes solidly in winter, shaping the kind of seasonal experiences visitors can enjoy throughout the year.
