Welcome to Conrad, Montana

In 1903 Conrad was granted a post office run by Mary Wilson. The town was named after W. G. Conrad, who owned much of the land in the vicinity as part of his investment company. Conrad also served as a station on the Great Northern Railroad branch line that ran from Great Falls to Shelby and then on up to the Canadian border.

Conrad is a productive wheat-growing area, with an elevation of 3,500 feet. With easy access off of I-15, Conrad offers something for everyone. Nearby, Lake Frances and Lake Elwell, the Marias River and Teton River offer fishing, water skiing, windsurfing or camping opportunities. For information on four-wheeler and water craft rentals, and varmint hunting areas, please contact the Chamber office and Visitor’s Center. Wintertime also provides cross-country and downhill skiing, as well as snowmobiling and ice fishing.

For those wishing even more adventure, the nearby Bob Marshall Wilderness deep in the Rockies is one of the last primitive areas for the hiker, backpacker and horseback rider.

Bird watching and hunting are excellent near Conrad. Our lakes and fields of grain entice numerous species of birds and provide frequent glimpses of pheasant, grouse, geese, swans and ducks.

Conrad offers a 9-hole golf course, a new municipal swimming pool, baseball complex, tennis courts, shady parks, bowling, health club, community theater group, movie theater and a variety of dining experiences. Conrad also has a lighted airport with a 4,200-foot airstrip.

For history buffs, Lewis and Clark explored the Conrad area and returned through Conrad in their famous flight from the Blackfeet Indian encounter and Camp Disappointment. The Whoop-Up Trail, an infamous bootlegger route, ran nearby.
