The Land: A True Montana Wilderness

Lapham Outfitters is located in the heart of the Big Hole Valley, a place known for its wide-open spaces, rugged mountains, and pristine waters. Our hunting and fishing adventures take place on a combination of private land and national forest access. This unique setting offers the best of both worlds: the quiet seclusion of private property and the vast expanse of the untouched Montana wilderness.

The Big Hole Valley is often called “the Land of 10,000 Haystacks,” famous for its rolling meadows, abundant wildlife, and crystal-clear streams. Whether you’re hiking through dense forests, spotting wildlife in the open valleys, or casting your line into a quiet stream, this is a place that allows you to truly disconnect and immerse yourself in nature.
