The Snowy Mountains and Crystal Lake are a major attraction in this area of Montana. It's worth the drive up a rough dirt road to see Crystal Lake, near the summit of the mountains. The road to Crystal Lake goes south from U.S. Highway 87, a few miles west of Lewistown, Montana. Outdoors enthusiasts enjoy Big Spring Creek, a major stream flowing through Lewistown. A walking and jogging trail borders the stream just outside the city.
Spring Creek is also a hot spot for fishing rainbow trout.
For a special experience, visitors to Lewistown stop at the Montana Mountainmen Antler Art gallery at 313 E. Main. The owner and artist Frank Hanzel is a delighful fellow. His specality is antler art. Antlers from deer and elk are carefully crafted into chandleliers, knives, wine holders, and many other beautiful works of art. The gallery also sells many fine limited-edition western prints, bronze sculptures and other works of art.
