A River really does run through it

With the Clark Fork River passing through downtown, the community is very connected to the water. In the summer you'll find people Kayaking, fly-fishing and floating by in a big inner-tube.

Recreation

Missoula – It’s called an outdoor recreation mecca for a reason.

Thrill seekers and casual outdoor enthusiasts flock to Western Montana during all seasons for the area’s abundant outdoor recreation opportunities.

The numerous nearby mountains, rivers, lakes,  and wilderness areas draw residents and visitors alike to explore Montana’s vast and scenic terrain.

Hop on the trail and check out Missoula’s Parks & Recreation offerings for something a bit more urban.

From world-class trout rivers to back country ski slopes, from the whitewater of the nearby Alberton Gorge to the trails on Blue Mountain, Missoula is second to none as an adventurer’s haven.

"There are hundreds of miles of trails, four mountain ranges and five major rivers, all within an hour's drive. So there are plenty of reasons to bring boots and a bike"
