Meagher County is nestled between the Little Belt, Big Belt, Castle, and Crazy Mountains. The county is a hot spot for the outdoor enthusiast during every season of the year. Recreational opportunities include hunting, camping, fishing, snowmobiling, and skiing at Showdown, the oldest running ski hill in Montana. After enjoying outdoor activities, many visit White Sulphur Springs, the county seat, for a soak in the historic hot springs, to enjoy a locally-crafted beer, and to have a meal at one of the town’s eight restaurants. The county is home to approximately 1,900 people inside the 2,395 square miles of rolling hills and mountains.
