Whitefish Trail
The Whitefish Trail
A multi-use trail network around Whitefish Lake and the outskirts of town, about 70 km in total, suitable for hiking, running, and mountain biking.
The Whitefish Trail is a trail system built and maintained by the local community. It extends from the outskirts of town to the north shore of Whitefish Lake, covering about 70 km with more than a dozen trailheads. The most popular is the loop near the Lion Mountain trailhead. Its forest paths have moderate grades and offer viewpoints overlooking Whitefish Lake and the town. In the northern section, around Beaver Lake, there are several small lakes. The trail is free and suitable for hiking, trail running, and mountain biking, and some sections can be walked on snowshoes in winter. Note that black bears live in the area, so visitors should carry bear spray and hike in groups.
