Surprise Creek Colony is a Hutterite community[3] and census-designated place (CDP) in Judith Basin County, Montana, United States. It is in the north-central part of the county, in the valley of Surprise Creek, a north-flowing tributary of Arrow Creek, which continues northeast to the Missouri River.
