Warm Springs balances small-town quiet with big-sky access to the outdoors. Set along I-90 between Anaconda and Deer Lodge in Deer Lodge County, it’s best known for the historic Montana State Hospital and the broad wetlands of the Warm Springs Ponds, a reclaimed habitat where birders watch migrating waterfowl and anglers cast for trout. Trails and gravel roads invite evening walks, while dramatic limestone cliffs and cascades at nearby Lost Creek State Park make an effortless day trip. History lovers can head a bit farther to the working cattle heritage preserved at Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site, then be home in time for a sunset over the Pintlers.
Families typically enroll with the Anaconda School District, which offers small class sizes and a full slate of activities. Daily needs, healthcare, and local events are easily reached in Anaconda or Deer Lodge, with bigger-box shopping and regional employers within a short commute to Butte. Golfers can play a round at the Jack Nicklaus–designed Old Works Golf Course, while anglers and wildlife watchers return to the Warm Springs Ponds through the seasons for ever-changing scenery.
Housing ranges from simple cottages to acreage with room for workshops, gardens, and mountain toys.
