10 Things to do in Missoula This Summer
If there’s one thing Missoula is known for, it’s the plethora of big adventures and outdoor activities you can find here. Like much of Western Montana, Missoula is surrounded by truly breathtaking natural scenery – and it’s among these lush forests and crystal-clear rivers and lakes that you’ll find many of the top things to do in Missoula.
From epic hikes with jaw-dropping views to a day of fly fishing or whitewater rafting on local rivers, you’ll never run out of things to do in Missoula. You don’t have to leave the property at our Missoula Bed and Breakfast to get in on some of the action. We’re ideally situated in a secluded spot and afford our guests easy access to a plethora of outdoor activities.
Given that Missoula is all about the great outdoors, we’ve compiled a list of ten of our favorite things to do in Missoula below, with a heavy emphasis on outdoor recreation but with plenty of this amazing city’s other fantastic offerings as well.
- Hiking is one of the most popular things to do in Missoula and its surrounding areas, and for a good reason. One of the most iconic hikes in town is the “M,” otherwise known as Mount Sentinel, which offers one of the best views of the valley. You’ll find even more great Missoula hikes nearby, including those in the Blue Mountain Recreation and Pattee Canyon Recreation areas.
- Like hiking, biking is top-rated among things to do in Missoula – and that goes just as much for scenic road biking as mountain biking. You’ll find some of the best Missoula mountain biking trails here. If you’re looking for relatively flat rides, you can’t beat the 50-mile Bitterroot Trail.
- Kayaking is another popular activity in Missoula during the summer – especially if you head downtown to Brennan’s Wave in downtown Missoula. Even if you just watch the action, it’s a great place to spend an afternoon. Head to Frenchtown Pond State Park, just 5 miles west of Missoula, for a quiet paddle.
- Birdwatching is, and always has been, one of our favorite things to do in Missoula. You can enjoy plenty of birdwatching right here at our Missoula Bed and Breakfast, but there are also plenty of birding hotspots nearby.
- It’s not a trip to Missoula without some fishing, one of the most popular things to do in Missoula (and most of western Montana). Whether you prefer fishing in lakes like Flathead Lake or want to try your skills at some Missoula, Montana fly fishing, there are plenty of options. Check the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks website for seasons and licensing.
- Hot air ballooning is one of the most unusual – or at least less common – things to do in Missoula. What a fantastic way to see these breathtaking landscapes, though! Mountain Butterfly will take you over mountains and rivers to create a memory that will last a lifetime.
- Golfing is gaining popularity as one of the top things to do in Missoula. With gorgeous golf courses like Linda Vista Golf Course, Canyon River Golf Club, Larchmont Golf Course, and the University of Montana Golf Course, it’s easy to see why.
- We love the Missoula Farmers Markets, and shopping these local treasures is one of the most popular things to do in Missoula during the summer.
- While in downtown Missoula, don’t miss out on an opportunity to shop on the “Hip Strip.” We also recommend you take a self-guided walking tour to learn this Montana town’s fascinating and varied history.
- After these epic adventures, you’ll probably be hungry and thirsty. Grab a cool pint of beer at one of these fantastic Missoula breweries, followed by an exceptional meal at one of the top Missoula restaurants.
