CLYDE PARK
About Clyde Park
North of Livingston, Clyde Park is nestled in a valley along the scenic Shields River and surrounded by the spectacular Crazy and Bridger Mountains, which provide recreation opportunities ranging from hunting to fishing to hiking.
The town is home to many cattle ranches and other agricultural operations including grain production. Clyde Park also includes a handful of small but vital and thriving businesses such as a grocery store, and an excellent coffee shop. Shields Valley High School and Shields Valley Junior High School, which also serves the nearby community of Wilsall, are also located in Clyde Park.
