Missouri River
A Legendary Waterway Just Down the Road
Only about 30 minutes from Sidney, the Missouri River offers a deeper dive into Montana’s historic landscape. This is where explorers, traders, and native cultures once traveled—and where today’s visitors come for wide-open water, striking bluffs, and a sense of quiet solitude.
The Missouri is a favorite for anglers targeting walleye and northern pike, especially around the bridge crossings near Culbertson or Fort Union. Birdwatchers and photographers flock to the area in spring and fall, when migratory birds fill the sky.
Local Tip:
Try the Missouri River Overlook near Fort Union or access near the confluence of the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers at Missouri-Yellowstone Confluence Interpretive Center. These spots offer panoramic views, river access, and historical context all in one stop.
Things to Do
- Fish the cool, deep waters for a variety of sportfish.
- Kayak or canoe the wide, slow-moving stretches.
- Explore nearby Lewis & Clark sites and the Fort Union Trading Post.
- Pack a picnic and watch the sunset from a bluff above the river.
Seasonal Highlights
- Spring: Rising water levels, active birdlife, and great early-season fishing.
- Summer: Hot days make for perfect paddling and longer exploration.
- Fall: Crisp air, fewer crowds, and brilliant foliage along the banks.
Nearby Amenities
- Interpretive centers, museums, and historic sites around the confluence area.
- Lodging and outfitters can be found in Sidney, Culbertson, and Williston.

Located 140 miles from Sidney, this 32-mile open-air art gallery in the rural countryside west of Regent, the Enchanted Highway delights travelers with some of the world’s largest scrap metal sculptures. Created by local artist Gary Greff, a retired schoolteacher, this roadside spectacle transforms ordinary prairie highway 21 into a whimsical journey through giant geese, deer, grasshoppers, pheasants, and even a full “Tin Family.” Each sculpture site includes spacious pull-offs, interpretive kiosks, and picnic areas for visitors to explore and enjoy.
The journey begins at I‑94 Exit 72 near Gladstone with the “Geese in Flight” monument—the largest metal sculpture in the world—soaring over 100 feet into the sky. From there, the route leads past six more colossal works: “Deer Crossing,” “Grasshoppers in the Field,” “Fisherman’s Dream,” “Pheasants on the Prairie,” “Teddy Roosevelt Rides Again,” and the iconic “World’s Largest Tin Family,” culminating at the Enchanted Castle gift shop and motel in Regent.
This unique art tour is a testament to rural creativity and community spirit. Greff constructed the sculptures using recycled oil tanks and well pipe metal, placing them on land donated by local farmers. The State of North Dakota now helps maintain the route to ensure it remains a lasting tribute to small-town vision and artistry.
Plan your visit
- Start at I‑94 Exit 72 and follow the numbered sculptures along Highway 21.
- Each stop features parking, interpretive signage, and wheelchair access.
- Enjoy a picnic or stretch your legs at rest stops between installations.
- End your journey in Regent with a stay at the castle-themed motel.
Whether you’re making a quick photo stop or planning a scenic half-day adventure, the Enchanted Highway offers a delightful blend of art, humor, and big-sky charm—right off the interstate and off the beaten path.
