About this place
From what was once a cow pasture and farm land, the Big Sky Horse Park has blossomed into an incredible addition to the Missoula County Parks and Trails Program. Originally conceived as an equestrian facility, the Park is now enjoyed by the entire Missoula and Western Montana Community.
