Outdoor Adventures in Great Falls
Hiking Trails
Great Falls is home to numerous hiking trails. One of the most popular is the River's Edge Trail, offering stunning views of the Missouri River. It's a perfect way to connect with nature and get some exercise while enjoying the breathtaking landscape. Our family, with ages ranging from 2 to 40, went for a ride on the River's Edge Trail even in the fall, and it was a blast!
Scootering Around
Explore the city on scooters! Renting scooters is a fun and efficient way to see Great Falls. The River's Edge Trail is also ideal for scooting, offering a smooth ride with picturesque views that make for a perfect day out. For Bird Scooters, you'll need to download the app: Bird Scooter Information.
Fishing
While Giant Springs State Park is a beautiful spot, we recommend fishing anywhere along the Missouri River for a better experience. For supplies, head to North 40. If you’re willing to drive about 45 minutes, Wolf Creek offers fantastic fishing opportunities. After a day on the water, dine at Isaak’s Restaurant and Bar near Wolf Creek, which is known for its great food and atmosphere.
