Lowry Bridge is a Bureau of Land Management recreation site in the Lewistown Field Office, about a tenth of a mile from the town of Lowry, Montana. It sits along the Sun River and offers river access for rafting and fishing. The site is a pack-in/pack-out location with five first-come, first-served campsites, each with a fire ring and picnic table. A vault toilet is on site, and a new bear box has been installed because of increased bear activity. Livestock are fenced out for visitor and livestock safety. The site is reached by an all-season county road with a 10-ton bridge leading to a gravel loop. The area sees more visitors during fall hunting season, when shotgun and archery use are allowed. For the rest of the year, those weapons are not permitted. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Fairfield weather station show July highs around 80°F with lows near 53°F, while winter highs stay in the mid-30s.
