Clancy blends big-sky scenery with easy living, making it a favorite for those who want elbow room without losing access to amenities. Just a short hop from Helena, this community sits in Jefferson County along rolling hills and ponderosa stands where evening alpenglow is a regular show. Outdoor lovers can be on trails in minutes, thanks to the surrounding Helena–Lewis and Clark National Forest, with year-round hiking, biking, and winter snowshoeing supported by the forest’s maintained routes and trailheads at the edge of town through the official Helena–Lewis and Clark National Forest site.
Families appreciate the K–8 experience at Clancy School, known for its close-knit feel and strong community support. Check calendars and classroom news directly at the Clancy School website.
