Decker balances wide-open prairie living with blue-water recreation along the Tongue River, offering a quiet base with easy access to larger amenities in Sheridan, Hardin, and Colstrip. Weekends often revolve around the water at Tongue River Reservoir, where anglers chase walleye and families launch kayaks, paddleboards, and fishing boats at the well-maintained facilities of Tongue River Reservoir State Park. Hikers, hunters, and wildlife watchers can expand their range into the open pine breaks of the Custer Gallatin National Forest or head south to the alpine trails and scenic byways of the Bighorn National Forest. History buffs can stand on hallowed ground at Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument near Crow Agency and explore the stories that shaped the region.
Families in and around Decker often look to nearby districts for K–12 options, including Hardin Public Schools and Colstrip Public Schools, while some choose faith-based education at St. Labre Indian School in Ashland. County services, public health resources, and permitting are coordinated through Big Horn County, keeping residents connected despite the rural setting.
Whether you’re drawn by starry skies, room for horses, or front-row access to fishing and boating, Decker rewards those who value space and simplicity.
