With a twanging, classic-rock soundtrack provided by annual music festivals like Rockin the Rivers and the Headwaters Country Jam, Three Forks is synonymous with Montana summer. Four-wheelers and dirt bikes roar across Pipestone, cheers come from every float tube on the Jefferson River, and fishing lines tug at Missouri Headwaters State Park. Even educational moments seem more like summer vacation with historic stops at Madison Buffalo Jump and tours of Lewis and Clark Caverns.
Around here, Willow Creek Café's famous ribs duke it out with Sir Scott's Oasis's renowned steak, while grains come courtesy of Wheat Montana’s bakery and Madison River Brewing’s latest pours. You’ll find plenty of places to pitch a tent, but only one haunted, historic hotel: the Sacajawea ("The Sac" to locals), with a huge porch offering front-row seats for the nightly entertainment: summer sunsets.
