Comments and Ratings

Lincoln is a beautiful place to go, get away, and has great hospitality within its businesses. Don't just drive threw, but stop and have a cup of coffee! Love it.

The Lincoln Rodeo is performed on Saturday and Sunday June 30 and July 1 with entrants all over the western states. The annual 4th of July celebration that is the epitomy of "Small Town America." On the Saturday before the 4th entrants from all over western Montana bring their floats for he parade that travels down Main Street (State Hwy. 200) that is closed during the parade. July 4th fireworks display. Lincoln's Hooper Park, complete with Interpretive Kiosk, is a stop on the Lewis and Clark Trail. Central to the park is its large log pavilion, featuring integrated carvings of members of the Corp of Discovery. The pavillion is flanked by ballfields, horseshoe pits, and 26 shaded campsites nestled in ponderosa pines with a covered pavillion. Lincoln is home to the official restart/finish line for Montana's Race to the Sky, sled dog race each February. The 350 mile race covers some of the most grueling, challenging terrain offering the most mountainous trail in the lower forty-eight.
