Sun River, MT: Trees at the Old Crossing

Sun River is a hamlet of about 95 people in Cascade County, Montana, 25.4 road miles and about 34 minutes west of Great Falls. John Largent laid out the town in 1867, opened a store and post office, and with Joe Healy built a toll bridge to catch the Mullan Road traffic between Fort Benton and the gold camps.

The trees are river trees: cottonwood and willow thick on the flood ground, boxelder in the low yards, green ash and Siberian elm a little higher, all leaning downwind after a century of chinooks. The flood ground stays soft into June, so Ramon plans the equipment path before a saw starts.

Stump Grinding

Stumps ground below grade so the lawn comes back. Old cottonwood and boxelder roots run wide here, so we check for sprinkler lines before we grind. See the full details, including typical pricing →

Why a Great Falls Crew Comes to Sun River

What Sun River Can Expect

Thirty-Four Minutes Out MT-200

Sun River rides our westbound run with Vaughn, Fort Shaw and Simms, with no trip charge. Valley estimates are grouped so your date comes quickly.

Cottonwoods on the Flood Ground

Cottonwoods at the crossing are tall, heavy and shallow-rooted. We lower them in sections from the dry side while the chip truck waits on the gravel.

Soft Ground, Careful Access

River lots stay soft for weeks after the spring rise. Ramon walks the route before the truck, lays plywood where needed, and your yard is not left rutted.

Unincorporated, County Burn Permits

Sun River has no town office, so your own tree is your decision. A brush pile needs a burn permit from the Cascade County Clerk and Recorder, or we chip and haul.

City boulevard, burning and town-office rules: see our permits page.
