Highwood unfolds where wheat fields meet the island-like Highwood Mountains, offering wide horizons, clear skies, and a close-knit pace of life. Set in Chouteau County, it’s an easy hop to the larger conveniences of Great Falls and the storied riverfront of Fort Benton, yet everyday life here still revolves around community events, Friday night games, and trailheads that start just past the last mailbox.
Families appreciate the K–12 experience at Highwood Public Schools, where small class sizes, familiar faces, and strong teacher engagement create a supportive path from kindergarten to graduation. Explore programs, calendars, and activities through the official site at Highwood Public Schools. Weekend plans come naturally: wander along Highwood Creek, hike toward Highwood Baldy, or glass the foothills at sunrise when wildlife is most active. For a dramatic canyon hike and summer wading, head to nearby Belt and the cliffs and pools of Sluice Boxes State Park, managed by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks at Sluice Boxes State Park.
When you need airports, medical centers, or bigger-box shopping, it’s a straight drive to Great Falls and flights via Great Falls International Airport. Whether you’re buying acreage with mountain views or listing a legacy farmhouse, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a proven local agent who knows Highwood’s market, back roads, and timelines—helping both buyers and sellers move with confidence.
