Recreational Opportunities

The Knolls is surrounded by nature’s splendor and unlimited recreational opportunities. Nestled in the heart of the majestic Rocky Mountains, with thousands of acres of protected national forest, there is a lifetime of open space to explore….all day-trip accessible from the location of your home.

Within the city are at least 10 Community Parks, 10 Neighborhood Parks, 5 Sports Parks, 16 playgrounds, 2 swimming pools, 2 lakes with beaches, a Canine Beach, a Dog Park, 24 miles of trails and more than 200 acres of Natural Parkland.

Within the greater Gallatin Valley you can find rock climbing, horseback riding, fly fishing, mountain climbing, bird watching, mountain biking, and various snow sports at any of our world class ski resorts. Cross-country skiers can also enjoy countless miles of solitude in the surrounding public lands. Our blue ribbon trout rivers are legendary for being a fisher’s paradise, as well as providing access for white water rafting, kayaking, canoeing, or just floating down the Madison or Yellowstone rivers on a hot summer day.

If golf is your passion, you can play here in the shadow of the majestic Rocky Mountains. Bozeman is home to four public, and two private golf courses that are as beautiful as they are challenging.

Bozeman

Bozeman, anchoring Montana’s fastest growing county, is the city The Knolls calls home. This one-time cow town, nestled in the heart of the majestic Rocky Mountains in beautiful southwestern Montana, is now being hailed by US News & World Report as one of the Best Places to Retire and by Bizjournal as America’s #1 Dreamtown.

From cattle ranchers to high tech engineers, the area is home to a breed of people who have come to appreciate an unmatched quality of life. While retaining a small town feel, Bozeman prides itself on offering community activities and programs typically available only in larger, metropolitan areas. Combine the wide array of resources with an abundance of outdoor recreational opportunities and it’s easy to understand why Bozeman ranks as one of the nation’s most livable cities.

Cultural Connections

It’s your turn to indulge yourself. We are merely minutes from the downtown Bozeman corridor offering boundless opportunities for cultural enrichment. Just think. No more wing tips. No more sitting in traffic on the beltway. No more smog. No more rat races. Yet, still have access to art galleries. Fine dining. Theatre. Ballet. Athletic events. Symphony. Dinosaurs.

Intellectual Connections

Bozeman offers all the essential elements for creating a healthy, invigorating, and stimulating lifestyle that you desire. The community is full of active, successful, and interesting people. If you’ve worked hard so you can have the freedom and security to enjoy all life has to offer, this is your opportunity to become part of the most vibrant adult community in Montana.

Routinely listed by U.S. News and World Report as one of America’s “best buys” for undergraduate education, Montana State University has a rich tradition of welcoming community participation in many of its programs. Opportunities abound for intellectual enhancement through lectures, concerts, community learning programs, and research.

Bozeman and its surrounding area is also home to more than 100 technology companies, from computer software development to laser technology, to pharmaceutical research companies. Budding entrepreneurs and investors find it hard to resist Bozeman’s unique charm and unmatched quality of life.
