Lewiston, the geographic center of Montana, began as a small trading
post. The impressive Judith, Moccasin and Snowy Mountains surround it.
Spectacular scenery and wildlife viewing abound in the area.
In downtown Lewiston you'll find historical charm mixed with a modern
business district. The historic Silk Stocking and Central Business
districts, Courthouse Square, Judith Place and Stone Quarry are listed
on the National Register and are easily explored with self-guided tours.
Outdoor adventures include camping, non-motorized boating, fishing,
swimming, and hiking at beautiful Crystal Lake in the Big Snowy
Mountains just south of Lewiston. Winter fun in the area includes fossil
and ice cave exploration. Judith Park Recreation Area is located in the
Judith Mountains north of Lewiston. A gravel road will take you to the
summit for outstanding 100-mile views of the surrounding mountains.
Annual events include the Montana Cowboy Poetry Gathering and
Montana Chokecherry Festival. A great way to see the surrounding area
is aboard the Charlie Russell Chew-Choo, a 3 1/2 hour dinner train ride,
summer through fall, with special scheduled holiday runs.
