THINGS TO DO
That's how you Montana Anaconda style
You Definitely won't run out of adventures…
Within the community is a growing and walkable downtown business district with coffee shops, salons, clothing boutiques, home-goods shops, eateries, a brewery, a bottleshop, a bike shop, a kids store and much, much more. Main Street is the entrance to Anaconda’s historic district, where the U.S. Post Office, the Hearst Free Library, the Deer-Lodge County Courthouse and the Washoe Theater are among the buildings listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. All of those buildings are still being used. The theater is treasured by locals and has recently upgraded to digital sound and display to ensure the future of modern cinema in a historic setting.
Just beyond the city limits, outdoor opportunities abound. Anaconda is surrounded by national forest land with abundant hiking, skiing and snowmobiling trails. Bountiful fisheries are only a short drive from town, including the Big Hole River and Georgetown Lake. Just beyond Georgetown Lake is Discovery Ski Area, a hill to satisfy both hard-core skiers and families. Skiers enjoy pulse-pounding vertical drops, a relaxed easy chair and everything in between. It doubles as a mountain bike park in the summer. Within Anaconda, tidy parks offer entertainment for families, and The Jack Nicklaus-designed Old Works Golf Course sits atop land reclaimed from Anaconda’s copper-smelting heyday.
Not to mention Anaconda sits about halfway between Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park. Take one of the many scenic highways and explore all that sits just outside the city limits.
