Hundreds of thousands of acres of open ranch country surround you. Just by strolling the streets you will walk through a piece of Montana history and culture.
Ovando is full of recreational possibilities and dreams. It is the southern entry to the Bob Marshall and Scapegoat Wilderness and home to the fabled Blackfoot River and its tributaries. Ovando is the perfect remote spot to spend an hour, a day, a weekend or a week.
With only a population of 50 residents, Ovando, Montana provides the quiet solitude so expected on a Montana retreat. Remotely situated on Highway 200; 60 miles from Missoula, and over 80 from Helena and Great Falls, Ovando allows for more scenery per capita, than any other small town.
