Craig is a tiny river town with an outsized reputation on the blue-ribbon Missouri River. Days revolve around the water: drift boats queuing at Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ Fishing Access Sites, guides swapping reports over coffee, and the spring Craig Caddis Festival that kicks off the season. World-class trout habitat and easy put-ins make it a standout base for anglers, with quick escapes to Holter Lake State Recreation Area for boating and campfire evenings.
Beyond the river, public lands beckon. Explore the cliffs and quiet trails of the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest at Gates of the Mountains, or head to dining in Helena or Great Falls. I-15 keeps regional commutes simple while preserving Craig’s easygoing rhythm.
Families find practical schooling: K–8 students often attend nearby Wolf Creek School, while high schoolers look to the capital’s options through Helena Public Schools. County services are anchored by Lewis and Clark County, whose official site covers permitting and public safety. For healthcare, the region is served by St. Peter’s Health.
Whether you’re after a seasonal base with gear storage or a year-round home that trades stoplights for stars, local guidance matters. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with trusted real estate agents who know Craig from boat ramp to back road.
