Gigantic Warm Spring

Gigantic Warm Spring is a little piece of Montana heaven, conveniently nestled in between the North and South Moccasin Mountains of Fergus County on the Vanek's Paradise Ranch. The venue is a short drive approximately 14 miles north of Lewistown, MT on Highway 81 . It is an ideal spot to cool down on a hot summer day with a constant water temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit year round.

Stop 1: Swing by a local park

Symmes Park is home to the Big Spring Skatepark, soccer fields, a baseball field, tennis courts, and a playground. It's located right next to the Central Montana Museum and has a real-life Minuteman missile and Howitzer if you have a little one with a curiosity for history.

Frank Day Park has a fantastic playground and lots of lush green grass for the kids to run around in — plus, there's a labyrinth garden for parents that need a little quiet time. The park is home to the city pool and skating rink; there's hockey in the winter and the occasional roller derby in the summer. And with the city loop trail running right next to the park, this corner of Lewistown is packed with action.

Stop 2: Grab some grub and have a picnic at Gigantic Warm Spring

Gigantic Warm Spring is a little piece of Montana heaven, conveniently nestled in between the North and South Moccasin Mountains of Fergus County on the Vanek's Paradise Ranch.
