Dry Creek originates in the Helena National Forest. The stream flows 12 miles in a westerly direction to its confluence with Rock Creek and ultimately the North Fork of the Blackfoot River. The fishery in the headwaters is dominated by native westslope cutthroat trout, however, brook trout dominate the lower section in the worst condition. In 1996, habitat restoration began in the Dry Creek system.
Many Bozeman area cyclists make the short drive to nearby Belgrade to ride on Dry Creek Road. Though not completely flat, the route has no major climbs or descents and is therefore a favored route for the State time trial. The road wanders through the quiet farm country north of Belgrade before finding it's way back towards the town of Manhattan. Along the way you'll cross the East Gallatin River and the larger West Gallatin River multiple times, as well as many smaller creeks and streams. Whitetailed deer are thick as mice out here, and in the spring bald eagles are commonly sited pearched on trees and telephone poles as they migrate through the area. The road is in open country, so if it's a windy day be prepared for a workout. Dry Creek is one of those routes where the wind seems to blow out of every direction at the same time-don't expect a reciprocal tailwind after fighting a headwind. The route starts and finishes at Belgrade's Lewis and Clark Park-just off Main Street next to the fire hall.
The Pond's At Dry Creek is about half way around the semicircle of Dry Creek Road. The cache is a plastic Amo Can and is a quick a grab with goodies.
