If you get a chance, visit Hot Springs, Montana. Hot Springs, founded in 1910, is named for the local hot mineral springs that still bubble today. Thousands of people seeking rest and relief from pressure travel to the town of Hot Springs to bathe in the fine mineral water and mud baths. Many revisit on a regular basis, enjoying the benefits and relief that the natural hot mineral waters bring in the treatment of arthritis, skin diseases, rheumatism, stomach ulcers, high blood pressure and many other ailments. We are generally known around the world as Camas Hot Springs. Some believe these waters have comparable medicinial values with Baden-Baden, Germany.

Opportunities for privacy, quietness, and relaxation abound in this area. Many lakes, streams and rivers provide excellent fishing for the avid fisherman. Nearby sight-seeing attractions include a tour of the National Bison Range at Moisee, a visit to the historical St. Ignatius Mission Church and Flathead Lake with its many opportunities for boating, jet skiing, water skiing and fishing.

Hot Springs is located 30 miles from Flathead Lake, 65 miles from Kalispell, and approximately 75 miles from Missoula in Western Montana. We are located on the Flathead Indian Reservation and considered part of Glacier Country in Montana.

I help buyers in sellers in Missoula, Mineral, Sanders, and Lake Counties. I make my home in Mineral County. Here's Why: 

Mineral County is located in Western Montana near Idaho between Missoula, Montana and Spokane Washington. Mineral County is full of opportunity. The people are friendly and the climate is inviting. There are several separate, but intertwined communities within the county: The West End (Haugan, Saltese, DeBorgia), St. Regis, Superior and Alberton. The county contains 1,223 square miles and a population of ~3,600. The majority of the land surface is contained within the Lolo National Forest and located through a narrow valley separated by the Clark Fork and St. Regis Rivers. The Clark Fork River carries more water than any other river in Montana. The entire county is heavily forested with ponderosa pine (the state tree), lodge pole pine, fir, larch, white pine and cedar. The area is high in minerals and contains many unpatented mining claims. Mineral County became an independent county in 1914, with Superior as the County seat, and boasts a lively history before and since. It has hosted a gold rush, seen the building of two transcontinental railroads, experienced the trauma of the 1910 fire, and witnessed the destruction of several floods of the St. Regis and Clark Fork Rivers, as well as being the home to many Civilian Conservation Corps workers during the Great Depression. The historic John Mullan Road was built here in 1859-60 and the Yellowstone Trail in 1917.

The County offers extensive recreation areas for hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, and some fantastic whitewater adventure. Winter activities abound in the Superior area. Cross-country and downhill skiing, snowmobiling, sledding, ice skating and well maintained roads all winter long assure you of finding the perfect spot for winter fun. A short drive -in just about any direction will put you at some of the finest downhill ski runs in the country. Summertime offers the angler some of the best trout fishing to be found anywhere. Hiking and backpacking will take you into areas with isolated alpine lakes and serene beauty. Whitewater rafting, swimming, biking, camping and just about any other outdoor activity you can think of will make your time pass all too quickly. At day's end you'll find rest comes easy with cool night time temperatures; clean mountain air and only the sound of the wind in the pines to lull you to sleep. You'll find yourself at peace after an eventful day in our portion of the Big Sky Country.....
