Giant Springs State Park along the Missouri features one of the largest freshwater springs in the United States, producing 156 million gallons of water daily from springs emerging at the base of the river bluffs. The C.M. Russell Museum downtown houses the world's largest collection of works by the great Western artist Charlie Russell, whose paintings and sculptures captured the vanishing frontier of Montana's open-range cowboy and Native American cultures.
