NATIONAL PARK

Lolo National Forest

Wilderness areas within the forest include the 33,000-acre Rattlesnake National Recreation Area and Wilderness as well as Welcome Creek and portions of Scapegoat.

Recreational opportunities abound on 3,500 miles of streams, including Rock Creek, a haven for trout-fishing enthusiasts. Approximately 485 species of fish and wildlife inhabit the forest, which has numerous camping and/or picnic sites and 1,780 miles of hiking trails; winter activities include downhill and cross-country skiing, snowmobiling along 360 miles of designated trails and ice fishing. Some recreation facilities are designed for physically impaired access; inquire at a ranger station.

The forest has five offices: the Ninemile Ranger Station in Huson; the Missoula Ranger Station at Fort Missoula; and stations in the outlying districts of Seeley Lake, Superior and Plains/Thompson Falls.
