Overview Service & Activities
About The Kootenai River parallels the route for the first 5 miles, providing a scenic foreground to the Cabinet Mountains. Whitetail deer and ruffed grouse are common along the entire length of this drive. Moose may be seen in the upper Quartz Creek/Loon Lake area and blue heron, loons, and osprey may be seen at Loon Lake. There are numerous beaver dams and lodges, and elk and black bear are occasionally seen. The roads on this scenic route are good quality paved or gravelled roads. As this area is heavily timbered, you may encounter logging traffic.
