Frenchtown Pond State Park is a forty-one-acre public day-use recreation area in Frenchtown, Montana, about ten miles northwest of Missoula. Centered on a small spring-fed lake, the park offers easy access to a compact waterside setting near the Missoula area. The pond reaches a maximum depth of eighteen feet and supports fishing, swimming, and non-motorized boating. Its significance lies in providing convenient daytime outdoor recreation focused on the lake rather than overnight camping.
