Why you'd want to live in Laurel

Laurel truly is the “Hub of Montana.” From here, all roads lead to the exciting historical and recreational attractions of Montana and Wyoming. From Laurel, you can select one of four outstanding entrances into Yellowstone Park (Cody, Red Lodge/Beartooth Highway, Gardiner, or West Yellowstone). Two major highways south will take you to Wyoming. Head east 13 miles to Montana’s largest city, Billings, and 40 miles east to the most prominent Lewis and Clark landmark, Pompeys Pillar. Custer Battlefield, site of the most famous Indian battle, is 77 miles east of Laurel. A little to the south, you’ll find the majestic Big Horn Canyon which holds Yellowtail Reservoir, unique for its sheer beauty and an adventure for boaters. Below that is the river some call the finest trout stream in the world – the Bighorn! Approximately 295 miles northeast of Laurel you will find the nation’s largest earth filled dam at Fort Peck, backing up an enormous reservoir on the Missouri River with some of the best warm water fishing in the west. West of Laurel, the renowned Yellowstone River offers some of the finest trout fishing in the world. Drive north to the fabulous beauty of Glacier Park near the Canadian border. Our Chamber of Commerce Log Cabin Visitor Center is located in Firemen’s Park on East Main Street. You will find brochures, maps, and information pieces available about Yellowstone Park, Montana and Wyoming tourist attractions, Custer Country Tourism Region and other Montana tourism regions. There is so much to see and do in this great state of ours and Laurel is right in the middle of it. So, let us invite you to stay awhile.
