Why Montana’s Forest Sculpture Park Belongs on Your Bucket List

Montana is home to a lot of artists. People who can find inspiration in this wonderful state. Just walk through one of the many community markets and odds are you will see some of their work. Whether it’s pottery, jewelry, or woodworking, there is a lot of talent in our state. 

One of the coolest art installations in Montana is not in one of our big cities or in a museum; it’s in the woods in Lincoln, Montana. The Blackfoot Pathways: Sculpture in the Wild.  

Montana’s Creative Spirit Shines in Lincoln

It’s so worth it to take a trip along Montana’s Highway 200 on the scenic loop to check it out.  

Not only do you get a walk in the woods, but you get to see some amazing pieces of art. Some of the pieces of art blend into the woods while others stand out, but they are all cool in their own way. 

What Makes Sculpture in the Wild Unique

Some of the pieces are interactive, where you can walk through them, touch them, feel them and be a part of the art.
