About Wild Horse Plains

Plains, Montana is a beautiful area located in Montana's Glacier country in the Northwest corner of the state. At one time the Plains area and the Clark Fork River valley served as a wintering point for Indians and their horses. When many of the mountain ranges were covered with snow the wild horses would gather in this open and protected valley. At this time the valley was known as "Horse Plains" or “Wild Horse Plains”. The name was later shortened to just “Plains”. Plains’ has a long and colorful history with the first post office opening in 1883.

Plains is situated just downstream form the confluence of the Flathead and Clark Fork Rivers and the Clark Fork River is a major focal point of the town. Plains is at the southern end of the Cabinet Mountains and it is just east of the Flathead Indian Reservation. It is about an hour’s drive to Missoula, MT and a little over two hours to Spokane, WA. This is a major outdoor recreation area as well as being close to cities that offer good transportation and cultural events.

Plains now features a new airport that can handle business class jets.

Today, Plains’ population is about 1100 people and it features its own hospital, grade school and high school. It is also one of the best spots to view Big Horn Sheep.
