Why Live in Evaro
Evaro, a small community in Arlee, Montana, is situated along U.S. Route 93 between the Rattlesnake Mountains and the Reservation Divide. Known for its seclusion and wilderness access, Evaro is about 15 miles north of Missoula on the southern end of the Flathead Reservation. The area features rugged, mountainous terrain with homes primarily located on quiet rural streets branching off Route 93. Housing styles include ranch-style, log cabins, and new traditional brick homes, often on large lots ranging from 2 to 5 acres, many with mature trees, creeks, and streams. While there are no parks in Evaro, nearby natural attractions include the Snowbowl ski area and Flathead Lake, which is about 50 miles north. Residents enjoy local dining options such as Kampfire Steakhouse, Evaro Bar & Casino, and Gray Wolf Peak Casino. For groceries, most head to Missoula or Wilson Foods in Arlee, 8 miles north. Evaro lacks public transit, with U.S. Route 93 being the main road to nearby communities. Downtown Missoula is approximately 20 miles away, and Missoula Montana Airport is 13 miles from Evaro. The closest hospital is Providence St. Patrick Hospital in downtown Missoula. Due to its location, Evaro has an increased risk of wildfires, and non-tribal members need permits for hiking and other activities on tribal land.
