The small town of Dubois has a motto "enjoy a stay away from the fast lane" and it is quite appropriate. Dubois is surrounded by beautiful wilderness on all sides including badlands, mountain peaks, rivers, and grasslands. The main street features a unique boardwalk in the style of the Old West.
Located 5 miles East of Dubois on Highway 26 on Jakeys Fork Creek road, the Dubois Fish Hatchery produces three kinds of trout favored by anglers. These brown, rainbow, and cutthroat trout are released into the surrounding streams and lakes along with the nearby Wind River.
Located in downtown Dubois, the Dubois Museum contains many interesting exhibits on Dubois and the surrounding Upper Wind River Valley. The museum has a gift shop and also hosts a variety of events throughout the year including a Swedish Smorgasbord and an Archeology Day.
