Sleeping Buffalo places the Hi-Line’s open horizons at your doorstep, pairing restorative geothermal soaking with easy access to prairie adventure. Set along US Highway 2 between Malta and Saco, the area is anchored by the historic Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs & Resort, where mineral-rich pools ease winter and summer days alike. Minutes away, birders loop the auto tour at Bowdoin National Wildlife Refuge, a migration magnet for waterfowl and shorebirds, while anglers chase walleye and pike at Nelson Reservoir. For bigger-water outings, sprawling Fort Peck Lake beckons with boating and broad horizons.
Culture and education are close at hand. Kids marvel at fossil giants at the Great Plains Dinosaur Museum and trace homesteading stories at the Phillips County Museum in Malta. Families are primarily served by Saco Public Schools; additional academic, arts, and athletics options are available through Malta Public Schools, with broader services across Phillips County. Evenings bring big-sky stargazing—and occasional northern lights—thanks to minimal light pollution, while day-to-day needs remain simple on the Highway 2 corridor. If you’re drawn to quiet living with outsized outdoor access and the rare luxury of a natural hot spring, Sleeping Buffalo delivers.
