Pony pairs wide-open Montana sky with a storied mining past, creating a place where historic stone storefronts meet trailheads leading into wild country. At the foot of the Tobacco Root Mountains and within easy reach of services in Madison County, residents spend weekends roaming the high basins and alpine lakes of the surrounding wilderness. The nearby Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest offers hiking, horseback riding, backroad drives, and winter snowshoeing, all just minutes from town through the official trails and campgrounds managed by the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest.
Day trips are effortless. Follow the rivers to Three Forks for the sweeping vistas and interpretive trails of Missouri Headwaters State Park, or tour underground wonders at Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park. Anglers prize the Jefferson River for wade-friendly runs and scenic floats; its seasons and access sites are well-documented by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks. Families appreciate small-class attention at Harrison Public School a few miles away, while lifelong learners and commuters enjoy cultural events, research resources, and athletics at Montana State University in nearby Bozeman.
Housing in Pony ranges from restored miner’s cottages that echo the Pony Historic District’s 19th-century architecture to acreage properties with panoramic mountain views.
