Three Forks is where three storied rivers—the Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin—join to launch the Missouri, and daily life naturally flows around that meeting point. Residents head to Missouri Headwaters State Park for sunrise walks, easy bike trails, wildlife watching, and blue-ribbon fishing, while families picnic along calm side channels before a summer paddle. Weekend adventures stretch to the limestone cliffs and plains history of Madison Buffalo Jump State Park, and the thoughtfully restored Sacajawea Hotel anchors a lively Main Street scene with dining, music, and community events.
Set within Gallatin County, Three Forks offers small-town ease with commuter convenience: you’re minutes from Belgrade and within a straightforward drive to Bozeman, with neighboring Manhattan just down the highway. That reach brings big amenities close by while preserving quiet evenings, starlit skies, and a true sense of space.
Families appreciate that Three Forks Schools serve K–12 on a connected campus, known for attentive class sizes, competitive athletics, and hands-on programs that tap into the region’s outdoor classroom. Local history comes to life through community traditions, museum exhibits, and seasonal rodeo celebrations, while trailheads, boat launches, and winter outings keep recreation in easy rotation year-round.
