Hingham, on the Hi-Line, is a shipping and storing station for stock and grain. The Hi-Line is a much-used Montana term which indicates both the route laid out by the Great Northern Railroad and U.S. Highway 2 where it traverses the windswept, glaciated plains and rolling prairie of northern Montana. Hingham is not far from Fresno Reservoir, which offers good fishing opportunities for walleye, northern pike, and perch. The reservoir has a concrete boat ramp, picnic shelters, and swimming beach, and nearby camping.
