Spring and Summer in Russell Country

The days get longer as the weather gets warmer

There’s something about spring and summer in Russell Country that just can’t be beat. Our big sky, uncrowded landscapes and friendly people make the sun shine just a bit brighter here. Throw in a ton of outdoor activities, such as blue-ribbon trout fishing or floating the Missouri, and you have the perfect place to spend your spring or summer vacation.

Exploring the Missouri River Breaks

The heart of Montana’s beauty is legendary, but you have to see it for yourself to truly appreciate it. The best way to view it is by fishing, biking, boating, hiking, camping, golfing, horseback riding, white-water rafting, swimming or just about any other outdoor activity you can think of. If you like a lot of variety with your outdoor recreation, Russell Country is your ideal vacation spot.

From the legendary “great falls” encountered by Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery to the famous Ulm Pishkun Buffalo Jump, Russell Country is full of historic sites and landmarks, as well as reenactments that will take you back in time. We also have top-notch museums, such as the newly expanded C.M Russell Museum Complex, and the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center, both in Great Falls. It’s all part of historic Russell Country.
