Plains is a town in Sanders County, Montana, United States. The population was 1,106 at the 2020 census. It was founded as Horse Plains and sometimes called Wild Horse Plains, as the local Native Americans would winter their horses here to feed on the grasses in the valley. It is known for the most temperate climate in Montana. There is a nice growing season and the people are amazing.

The Plains valley is divided by the Clark Fork River, which provides for some pretty fabulous recreation. The Clark Fork is a long river and flows for more than 300 miles in Montana. The lower sixty miles consist of a chain of dams and reservoirs. The remainder of the Clark Fork, though, holds every kind of habitat a fly fisherman could want. Whitewater, pools, runs, riffles, brushy banks, grassy banks, forested banks, fast current, slow current and much else await an angler visiting the Clark Fork.

The wildlife here are spectacular. We may not have stop lights, but we do have to stop for whitetail and mule deer, elk, turkeys, big horn sheep and all manner of the forest creatures. A few of the Safari Club International trophies are still on the books from our corner of Northwest Montana. We are truly blessed with a National Geographic adventure on our way to work most mornings or evenings.

Just 75 miles to Missoula, Montana, 80 miles to Kalispell, Montana and 150 miles to Spokane, Washington. You have several city centers to choose from as well as airports to commute in and out of the area. Welcome home to small town Montana living in scenic northwest Montana.
