Montana’s Favorite Small Town
The town is surrounded by beautiful outdoor spaces, including a golf course, fishing ponds, and multiple parks that are easily accessible via the Rails to Trails biking and walking paths.
These scenic trails lead both north and south out of town, connecting to campgrounds, hiking trails, and opportunities for fishing and floating — eventually leading to the beautiful Missouri Headwaters State Park.
This historic park is where Lewis and Clark famously discovered the confluence of the Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin rivers, marking the headwaters of the mighty Missouri River which stretches over 2,300 miles.
Nearby you can explore additional state parks like the Madison Buffalo Jump and the curious formations of the Lewis and Clark Caverns.
For those who seek adventure, the crossroads of Hwy 287 just outside of town connects travelers to the spectacular Glacier National Park and the iconic Yellowstone National Park.
Heading north on 287, you’ll encounter the exhilarating mountain biking trails of Copper City, just past the renowned Wheat Montana Bakery and the captivating Bleu Horses.
With so much to offer, this small town is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream and a hub for local culture and community.
