플랫헤드 범위 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

This 23 mile trail boasts beautiful wildflowers, mushrooms, foliage and some overall jaw-dropping scenery. There is lots of shade, and some fun water crossings along the way as well.

This beautiful, secluded lake is well worth the hike. It is a great spot to do some fishing or relax and take in the calm.

Devil Creek Trail is a challenging trail with 2,500 feet of elevation gain. It is full of scenic views and peaceful forested areas. It eventually branches off on to Elk Lake Trail and intersects with Vinegar Mountain Trail. Some areas of the trail can be muddy and wet, so be sure to hike this trail with appropriate footwear.

This junction in the Middle Fork Flathead River is close to where Big River Trail and Vinegar Mountain Trail intersect, making it a good stopover point. A Cabin run by the Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation is also located here, but is not for public use.

This is another pristine alpine lake in Flathead National Forest. The trail leading up to the lake is a steady climb, but then has a sudden drop down near the end. This is also a great spot for snowshoeing or backcountry skiing in the winter. To arrive at Marion Lake, you can follow the trail starting at Forest Service Road 1640, which eventually merges with the Marion Lake Trail. You can also drive part of the way up and park along the forest road for a shorter hike depending on your vehicle and road conditions.

There are three backcountry campsites here near the lakeside. The campground is quote remote and secluded but you still need to make reservations via the Park Service. You can see Mount Thompson and Blackfoot from the campground. The trail northeast of here is not maintained and disappears a little ways up.

The lake trail is beautiful and extremely secluded. There is a campsite halfway along the lake which makes a great spot to spend the night before hiking onwards or back to town. To get here you will have to either ford the Middle Fork Flathead River — which can be quite dangerous and is best approached in the late summer — or hike in via the South Fork Boundary Trail.

There is a patrol cabin near the bridge where you cross Lincoln Creek. From here you can follow a trail along the creek way up into the mountains to Lincoln Lake, or continue along the South Boundary Trail following the Middle Fork Flathead River.
