Area Attractions

Calypso Trail and Terry Badlands Wilderness Study Area

Head out of town for an inspiring drive through arches, bridges, flat table-tops, pinnacles, spires, and buttes of the Terry Badlands Wilderness Study Area. Three miles northwest of Terry, the Terry Badlands WSA is a wonderland of awesome banded cliffs that overlook rolling prairie. Grasses, wildflowers, and brush such as sage, yucca, greasewood, and scattered juniper blanket the rolling benches. You can view wildlife that includes mule and white-tailed deer, pronghorn, elk, badgers, many raptors, and reptiles such as horned lizards. It is not unusual to encounter petrified wood in the WSA. This area is excellent for hiking, backcountry hunting, rock/fossil collecting, and enjoying the spectacular scenery!

Agate and Rock Hunting

Along the Yellowstone River, one can find a variety of uniquely colored agates. They can be blue, red, black, brown, or a variation of colors. The agates here are especially treasured due to their coloration and hardness.

Prairie County Museum

Travel back in time with a perusal of the Prairie County Museum that was established in the historic 1916 State Bank building. The museum displays the only steam-heated outhouse on the western side of the US, a pioneer homestead, the Burlington Northern Train Depot, and an old red wooden caboose. These historical items give you a sense of what it was like to live in the 1800s and early 1900s.

The Yellowstone River and Its Premiere Blue-Ribbon Fishing

This constant, unwavering river flows throughout the Yellowstone River corridor just as it has for centuries: in its natural state. It has not been dammed nor tamed and is the longest, free-flowing river as such in the lower 48 states. It meanders through a variety of scenery and various topographies from steep canyon walls to lazily flowing through farm country. Its fresh, clean waters provide fishing, floating, swimming, and rafting. The nutrient-rich areas surrounding the river are a paradise for wildlife making hunting especially good as well. Enjoy viewing wildlife such as bald eagles, elk, white-tailed deer, and black bears. Certainly, you will want to take advantage of the world-class fishing known internationally. These premier trout waters produce an abundance of big trout and native Yellowstone cutthroat trout. In the upper half of the river, species found are cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, large whitefish, and brown trout. In the lower half or warmer waters, species found are large walleye, catfish, and sturgeon. The beauty of fishing the Yellowstone River is its length and ample space. Anglers are not crowded with others and have the length of the river to spread out. The beautiful landscape encompassing the banks enhance the whole experience. Dry fly fishing is excellent as well as sub-surface fishing with nymphs and streamers.
