My Town...Ennis Montana

Here is a little about my town....I Love This Place!

Welcome to Ennis! A lively little Cowboy Town in the heart of the Madison Valley Montana on the Madison River with friendly people and good neighbors. If you are trying to find that special small town, look no further. It has been voted one of the top 20 towns to live by Amercian Cowboy.
The fishing is superb and the hunting is even better. Ennis and Cameron boast huge herds of Elk and Antelope as well as Mule Deer, White Tail Deer, Moose, Bear, Wolf and Mountain Lion.

Living in the Madison Valley is like living in a post card. Madison Valley elevation is approximately 5000’ with surrounding peaks ranging to 11,300’. The Madison County is known for its “Blue Ribbon” Trout streams, gorgeous lakes brimming with fish, fabulous hunting, hiking, biking, skiing, snow mobiling, white water rafting, and panoramic mountain scenery. The Madison Valley is bordered by the Centennial Range on the south, the Tobacco Root Range to the north, the Gravelly Range to the west and the Madison Range to the east. The Madison River flows north to Three Forks where it converges with the Gallatin and Jefferson Rivers.

The lively western town of Ennis has a population of about 1200 and is one of Montana’s best loved small towns. It offers outstanding restaurants, a supermarket, golf course, medical clinic, hospital, emergency helicopter services to larger medical facilities, also a variety of fishing and hunting outfitter shops, which offer guide services.
