Overview Service & Activities
About Directly outside downtown Whitefish, there is a trail that whisks walkers, runners, hikers, bikers and equestrians away through mile upon mile of public and private lands: it's called the Whitefish Trail. The trail is comprised of stacked loops, scenic overlooks, beautiful single-track trail and gated logging roads. It is a fabulous portal into prime wildlife habitat, sweeping vistas, and mountainous recreational hubs. The Whitefish Trail is the result of a community collaborative project driven by Whitefish Legacy Partners and it is the cornerstone of Whitefish Legacy Partners' work. For more detail information about the trail, visit http://whitefishlegacy.org/2012WT_TrailMap.pdf The Whitefish Trail is hiker, biker, runner, family, dog and equestrian friendly.
