November 22, 2020Clear and easy trail through the woods. It’s more for exercise than scenery. Flat and fairly even. Good for beginners. One little creek you cross. Saw bear tracks, but no bears. Went in late November. Little snow, but mostly in the wooded area. Wear orange, saw two hunters on the trail. Saw some off shoots of the main trail, may try those another day.
September 29, 2020September 28, 2020September 27, 2020Enjoyable walk. Nice quiet level trail.
September 16, 2020Lovely easy forest walk with view of the Swan Range. Nice place to walk a dog off leash. Pretty creek along the way.
September 11, 2020Nice easy loop! Mostly forested but still pretty views. Grass is very overgrown which I wasn’t a fan of. I was also the only person there on a weekday evening which was kind of spooky!
August 31, 2020This is a peaceful trail with tall grasses, lots of wild flowers even late in August, and it is an easy stroll.
August 9, 2020Proper lush trail for a little walk, and the creek is a nice touch as well. No elevation, just casual walking and grass on the shins. Caught a glimpse of a nice falcon couple hunting for dinner as well!
July 30, 2020Short and mostly flat. Trees have been downed but cut to preserve the path. Went just slightly too late for the wildflowers but seems like it was spectacular. Crossed paths with a bear.
July 25, 2020Easy little loop to clear your mind
July 12, 2020Amazing at this time of year for the wildflowers everywhere! I was hoping the trail would run along the creek more was the only disappointment, and we only crossed it once, which was a mystery! Also, WARNING: Do not wear shorts right now! There are several parts of the trail that get narrow where you literally cannot keep from brushing up against thistle plants. On a positive note, pretty much all the downed trees have had sections cut out of them except one that was easy to duck under.
July 3, 2020Kind of an underwhelming trail. A lot better options in this area.
June 29, 2020It's an awesome hike for all ages and skill levels. Some trees are down along the trail, but it's easy to get around them.
June 17, 2020June 16, 2020This trail was like an obstacle course yesterday, but I LOVED it! Def had to climb over or under many many trees. The smell of the trees was awesome, and the creek was delightful. Will be doing it again soon. Was nice I could walk and run on level ground. Easy but challenging and adventurous.
June 11, 2020June 10, 2020We walked it in the pouring rain, which was amazing, but at least a third of the trail had trees down which we had to claim over, climb under, and even walk in the woods around. Not everyone can manage this, so know before you go. Also, there are some turn-offs that would have messed us up had we not had this app with us. Be prepared.
March 28, 2020This trail is a perfect leisurely afternoon stroll with great views. It's a great trail for dogs. When we hiked it had quite a few trees down, but we were still able to get through. We saw a few other hikers, but it was an awesome afternoon. It's also a great spot for winter activities like snowshoeing and cross country skiing!

March 22, 2020Great trail for young kids. A lot of blown down trees but you can make it over/under/around them.
March 15, 2020Tons of blown down trees and you definitely need yak traks or something to walk on ice
August 4, 2019Perfect Sunday family outing. We stopped for a long time to dip our feet and play in Noisy Creek. We had 6 adults and 9 children. A very gentle easy hike with little elevation change. 5 year olds walked the entire way, the 3 year olds walked some distance and were carried a little.
July 26, 2019I along with my sister we are both over 60 took grandkids 9 year old and enjoyed this walk Easy with a lot of shade and a little stream about half way through. Good to just get out and walk
July 13, 2019Overall meh trail. Negligible shade. In the open, not very good vistas/scenery. If objective is to introduce someone to a hike in MT to get first hike behind them, this is it. But the scenery and time spent on it will be lacking. Try another easy hike like swan river nature walk where tho easy, has good views.
