Area Attractions

Melrose is a quiet country town that has many different recreational activities to offer so you will be sure to enjoy your vacation whether it is a weekend trip or a long family vacation.

Big Hole River
 
The Big Hole River is one of Montana's finest attractions, with diversity that's hard to match. The Big Hole is home to Rainbow, Brown, Brook, and Cutthroat Trout. Rocky Mountain Whitefish are also present, as well as the last fluvial (river-dwelling) population of grayling in the continental United States. The Big Hole is fish-able all the way from the source down to the convergence with the Beaverhead, meaning you will never struggle to find a quiet and relaxing place to set up for the day.
Pioneer Mountains

 

Our locals treasure the scenic beauty of the Pioneer Mountains and the outdoorsman live for the abundance of wildlife and beautiful trails for hiking and four wheeling. The Pioneers are a great place for big game hunting and fabulous fishing on the Big Hole River and Wise River. These two rivers provide the most popular places to fish, but the mountain lakes and smaller streams throughout this mountain range can be just as productive.
