Thompson Falls

Thompson Falls, Montana, sits along the rolling Clark Fork River on Montana’s Tour 200 scenic corridor between the Lolo and Kootenai national forests. Nestled within the majestic Cabinet and Coeur d’Alene mountain ranges, this little community—not far from Missoula, Coeur d’Alene and Spokane—offers the warmest climate in the state and a charming Main Street with authentic mom-and-pop storefronts. Surrounded by state and federal public lands, including millions of acres of pristine wilderness and three nearby reservoirs, this county seat provides business offerings and services attractive to production companies. Area highlights include the Thompson Falls Dam, the Old Jail Museum, Island Park, and the historic high bridge featuring scenic dam and river views.
