Welcome To
Forsyth, Montana!!

Home of the Old West

Forsyth and surrounding area offer a variety of recreational opportunities for the outdoor and indoor enthusiasts. Bring your canoe or raft and float the Yellowstone River with wildlife viewing and agate hunting. Walk the banks of the Yellowstone from atop the dike which runs the length of Forsyth.

There are 8 tennis courts, one 9 hole golf course with the toughest greens around, municipally-owned indoor Olympic swimming pool, baseball and soft ball fields and two city parks within walking distance.

The Rosebud County Museum and County Court House also a short distance away, offer a glimpse into the past of the Forsyth and Rosebud County Area.

A short trip will take you to the path of General Custer where he left the river at Rosebud, and you can follow his path towards the Bighorn Battlefield.
