Lake Helena Watershed encompasses 402,000 acres or 620 square miles.  It is bounded by the Continental Divide to the west and by the Elkhorn mountains to the southeast.  Three major drainages are the Silver, Tenmile and Prickly Pear Creeks.  The major tributaries are Sevenmile, Warm Springs Creek, Lump Gulch, Clancy Creek and McClellan Creek.  Sixty-eight percent of the watershed lies in Lewis & Clark County and 32 percent in northern Jefferson County.  

Three goals for the organization:

• Enhance or maintain water quality and quantity within the basin with consideration of physical,chemical, and biological parameters.
• Promote action plans that benefit drought management, flood management, and overall watershed health.
• Provide educational opportunities for both the public and stakeholders regarding watershed issues.
