Clyde Park, MT

Clyde Park sits in the heart of the Shields River Valley, framed by wide hay fields, the jagged Crazy Mountains to the east, and the Bridger Range to the west. It is a quiet ranching community about twenty minutes north of Livingston, giving residents big mountain vistas and plenty of room to breathe. The town has deep roots in early Montana cattle country, and that heritage still shows in its historic buildings, scenic backroads, and unpretentious atmosphere.

With a population of around 300, daily life moves at an easy, neighborly pace. Local kids attend the Shields Valley schools shared with nearby Wilsall, and the whole area turns out each summer for Old Settlers Days to enjoy a hometown parade, barbecue, and rodeo events. Between blue-ribbon trout fishing on the Shields River and hiking trails in the surrounding ranges, Clyde Park is a classic Montana haven for anyone who loves the outdoors.
