Big Sandy, Montana

Big Sandy is a small agricultural community in Montana’s Chouteau County. The town is set within the region of the scenic Bear’s Paw Mountains off US Highway 87 and is for many an ideal stop-off point between Great Falls and Havre.

Much of the community is located largely in the midst of rolling wheat fields, and the town is a trade hub for farmers and ranchers who work to ensure the grain gets shipped out of one of Big Sandy’s large grain elevators.

The town is developed enough to have a downtown stretch of bars, restaurants, and shops, and one of the community’s claims to fame is the fact that renowned western artist Charlie Russell once wandered the streets while working as a ranch hand in the area.

Big Sandy has various local amenities and recreation opportunities to offer, particularly at the Big Sandy Skate Bowl as well as at Lonesome Lake, located just to the north of town.
