Local Area The small town of Rudyard, Montana has a big personality. It sits along the Hi-Line between Chester and 40 miles west of Havre. The area mostly consists of ranchers and farmers with wheat farming being the chief crop. Rudyard has a neat distinction of being the only community in the US that sits directly across the world from a point of land rather than the ocean! Visit the town's remarkable museums: The Depot Museum and the Hi-Line Vintage Motors Museum. The Depot Museum houses dinosaur exhibits and is part of the Montana Dinosaur Trail. A gryposaurus fossil found 20 miles north of Rudyard by the famed Jack Horner and a Rudyard school teacher is on display. Area Attractions Fresno Reservoir Recreate on the beautiful Fresno Reservoir. It has many campgrounds and access points where you can boat, camp, fish, picnic, water ski, hunt, or wildlife view.

The water also attracts wildlife that provides hunting opportunities for waterfowl, antelope, white-tailed and mule deer, upland game birds, and occasionally moose and elk.

Experience some of Montana's best at the Tiber Dam-Lake Elwell marina! Fishing the Marias River The Marias River gently meanders for more than 60 miles through the rolling prairie before it spills into Lake Elwell. It is marked by the soft shale and sandstone bluffs that flank the river. Both cold water and warm water species can be found here, but it is primarily a warm water fishery near Tiber Reservoir. Walleye is the most abundant game fish, and every summer, there is a fishing tournament to declare the best fisherman. Walleye use the upper portion of the Marias for spawning thus the population remains in the river throughout the summer. Cold-water game fish such as Rainbow Trout and mountain whitefish inhabit this portion of the Marias but are lower in numbers. Northern pike, yellow perch, and burbot are other fish species that anglers seek.
