ATTRACTIONS
A place unlike any other.

This corner of the world is a unique landscape full of history and adventure. It's also a wonderful place just to sit back and watch the clouds and nature go by. Whether you're looking for outdoor excitement (mountaineering, camping, cycling, rafting, fishing, hunting, kayaking, horseback riding) or seeking a more laid-back experience (watching wildlife, taking photos, bird-watching) you're in the right place.

For the Sportsmen, Southwest Montana is renowned for big game hunting, in addition to blue-ribbon trout fishing. Fishing is fabulous almost any time of year, on the lake as well as on the Madison and Gallatin Rivers nearby. Terra Nova is a great base for elk, deer, and bear hunting in the fall and early spring.Call us about hunting, outfitter, and equipment rental recommendations. The fun doesn't stop when the snow starts to fly with world-class snowmobiling, ice fishing, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. The "biggest skiing in America" is just an hour away at Big Sky and Moonlight ski basins. Terra Nova Cabins are the headquarters for Hebgen Lake ice fishing and winter fly fishing. Remember, our cabins are open year-round with access to the lake and nearby ski and snowmobile trails.
