Area Activities & Attractions
PLANNING YOUR MONTANA FISHING TRIP
Welcome to the Last Best Place
In addition to spectacular fishing, Bozeman and the surrounding area offers a plethora of activities, events, and businesses to explore and experience - from award-winning breweries and distilleries, James Beard-nominated restaurants, historical and cultural gems, and outdoor recreation options for any and all, options in southwest Montana abound year-round.
Transportation Links
The first question many people ask is, “How do I get there?” Bozeman and southwest Montana are serviced by Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN), which is served by multiple airline carriers, many with direct flights into Bozeman. Ground transportation and local rental car agency information may also be found on the airport’s website. In addition to air travel, I-90 runs east/west directly through Belgrade and Bozeman, and I-15 runs north/south approximately one hour west of us.
