BEST voted BURGER BY DISTINCTLY MONTANA This is probably due to the fish hatcheries around Lewistown. Big Springs Trout Hatchery, just south of town, is the largest coldwater production hatchery in Montana. Should you be interested in visiting Fergus County, you have a wide range of activities to choose from. The county is well known for its hunting and fishing opportunities. Camping at James Kipp Recreation Area, I watched as a fisherman hauled a paddlefish out of the Missouri. And while we're talking fishing, the Big Springs Trout Hatchery is set in a park which is open to the public for hiking and picnicking, and can be rented for spe- cial occasions. Thinking of getting married by a trout pond? In addition to the self-guided walking tours around Lewistown, the city also has an extensive trail system. Personally, I want to ride the train. The Charlie Russell Chew Choo takes passengers on a four-and-a-half-hour trip from just west of Lewistown to Denton and back, while serving up not just scenery, but a full dinner. Be advised, the train sells out quickly.
