A small Helena community with long winters and short summers
Just outside of Helena, the small mountain community of Lincoln offers much in the way of outdoor activities. "Lincoln makes money from tourism in the summer for camping and in the winter for snowmobiling. The Blackfoot River also goes through here, and it's well known for its fishing," says resident Nina Kling, who works as a substitute librarian at the Lincoln branch of the Lewis & Clark County Library. With a string of restaurants and shops clustered along W Main Street, the neighborhood also maintains a small commercial district with local shops and restaurants. Kling adds, "We get long winters, and the temperatures can get as low as minus 20 at night. Some days it doesn’t get above zero. Summers are very short. June can be kind of rainy, but it brings beautiful green wildflowers, and the aspens are beautiful. September is beautiful, but the nights start getting cold, and we usually get our first snow in October."
Highway 200 goes straight through Lincoln to get you to where you need to go.

Bear sightings are common
Bears have been known to appear in the area. "I know there have been bears in my yard because I can tell by what they leave behind, though I have never seen one. I always carry bear spray with me," says Kling. "The black bears tend to run off, but the grizzlies have been expanding their territory, and we want to stay safe."
