Milligan Canyon Ranch - Three Forks, MT
Milligan Canyon Ranch consists of 1,190+/- acres located 13 miles west of Three Forks, MT. The ranch offers panoramic views of Elkhorn, Bridger and Tobacco Root Mountains amongst its rolling topography. The ranch also provides excellent privacy and a productive mix of tillable dry-land agriculture as well as native grass pasture in a location easily accessible through commercial or private airports in Bozeman, Butte and Helena. Portions of the ranch border lands held by the State of Montana that offers excellent recreational opportunities, specifically the pursuit of elk, mule deer and antelope.
Native Grass Pasture and State of Montana Lands
Access to Milligan Canyon Ranch is exceptional, provided by a short distance of travel along properly maintained county roads connected directly to Interstate 90 assuring easy year-round access. Interstate 90 also provides wonderful access to Bozeman and Butte, with US287 or a combination of MT69 and I-15 providing entry into Helena. Legendary trout waters of the Gallatin, Madison, Jefferson and Missouri are also a short jaunt from the property giving the angling owner a myriad of options and opportunities.
The town of Three Forks derived its name from the headwaters of the Missouri which is the confluence of the three rivers that are the source of the longest river system on the continent, the Missouri-Mississippi drainage. In 1805, Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and the Corps of Discovery camped at the headwaters of the Missouri River. They named the southern fork Gallatin; the middle fork, Madison; and the northern fork, Jefferson.
Wooded Hillsides and Open Meadows Provide Extensive Wildlife Habitat
Located in the renowned Gallatin Valley, the headwaters area includes the towns of Three Forks, Willow Creek, Trident, and Logan, up the Jefferson toward Whitehall, up the Madison toward Harrison, and down the Missouri toward Townsend. The area of the headwaters and surrounding the town of Three Forks has some of the most colorful legends and early day history of any region in Montana. The headwaters area was a natural crossroads and hunting ground for various Native American tribes, such as the Blackfeet, Shoshone, Flathead, and Crow, many years before Lewis and Clark arrived. Nearby is the Madison Buffalo Jump State Park where buffalo were hunted until about 200 years ago.
All best,
