Once a hopping Irish settlement, the friendly community of Florence provides splendid birding opportunities on the grasslands and forests of the nearby 6,069-acre Threemile Wildlife Management Area. The management area provides hunting access, wildlife viewing and is a great place for mountain biking during the summer months.
The Bitterroot Valley is a fly-fisherman's paradise. You can pick up locally made flies at shops throughout the valley. And—if you're not sure you want to hit the waters alone—many local outfitters have experienced guides to take you to some of the best fishing spots.
