Communities: Choteau
Known for its proximity to the Rocky Mountain Front, Choteau is located at the junction of U.S. Highway 89 and 287, 24 miles northwest of Augusta, 52 miles northwest of Great Falls and an hour away from Glacier National Park. Built around the stately, sandstone Teton County Courthouse, Choteau has a small, but diverse business community, serving wheat and barley farmers, cattle ranchers, tourists, and the 1,781 residents of the town.
Choteau has restaurants and motels for folks who want to stay for a meal or for a week. Wants and needs are satisfied with a variety of gift shops, clothing boutiques, art and antique galleries along with the traditional hardware, grocery and convenience stores. The community also has a small airport, hospital, two nursing homes, a retirement lodge, medical and dental providers, numerous churches, a swimming pool, golf course (with a “knock your socks off” view), movie theatre, tennis courts, bowling alley and a recreational complex in the city park.
Here you’ll find the starting points for many outstanding outdoor recreational opportunities in the Lewis and Clark National Forest and the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Along the Front you can visit wildlife viewing sites that may give you a glimpse of grizzly bears, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, elk or white tail and mule deer. You can hike along quiet mountain trails, listening to the sounds of the chattering squirrels and the whisper of the wind in aspen trees. Or, you can get out your fishing pole and go after some of the area's rainbow, cut throat and brook trout in area streams or fish the reservoirs and lakes for walleye and pike.
Explore the Old Trail Museum for a fascinating look at fossils, unique exhibits, dinosaurs, Indian artifacts and western history. The museum reflects the rich cultural and natural history of the Rocky Mountain Front area where you’ll learn about the vast inland sea that covered this area 80 million years ago. Twelve mile west of town, the world-famous Museum of the Rockies’ Egg Mountain is testament to the historical record where dinosaur egg shell fragments, nests, and babies were discovered for the first time in North America.
We're proud of our community and ready for visitors—with a friendly welcome. Travel here and you'll begin to realize why life in the country - far from the hustle and bustle of urban America - is such a valuable treasure.
