About this Location

Facility Overview

The 300-398 N Wyoming St Parking lot is an accessible, open-air surface parking facility situated in the heart of historic Uptown Butte, Montana. Positioned along North Wyoming Street between East Quartz Street and East Copper Street, this facility serves as an essential parking resource for both local residents and visitors exploring the Butte-Anaconda National Historic Landmark District. The lot features an open-sky, level-grade layout that eliminates overhead clearance restrictions, making it suitable not only for compact cars and sedans, but also for lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, passenger vans, roof-rack-equipped overland rigs, and utility work vehicles that cannot fit into standard multi-level parking decks.

Visitor & Driver Tips

While the lot offers convenient, open public parking, spaces fill up rapidly during major celebrations such as the Montana Folk Festival in July and the annual St. Patrick's Day celebration in March. For large public events, aim to arrive early in the morning or early afternoon to secure a prime bay. Montana winters bring significant snowfall and sub-zero temperatures; winter visitors should ensure vehicles are equipped with cold-weather battery capacity and all-weather tires to easily navigate Uptown Butte's sloping cross streets. When programming your GPS navigation, enter the address 300 N Wyoming St, Butte, MT for direct routing into the lot entrance.
