Hike or Bike to The Overlook Trail
Just a short hike/ride from the parking lot at Herron Park is the beautiful new Overlook Trail created by the Montana Conservation Corp in 2008. It provides nearly 360-views of the Flathead Valley. If you haven't been on it yet, go! You'll see why it's so important to keep these trails open forever. |

Horse trailers should continue to stables for parking. Cross the Herron Park meadow to reach roads and trails that will take you the Foys to Blacktail Trails area.
Guided Hikes are Fun for All Ages!
A great way to enjoy a summer evening (or morning) and meet new people! Join us at the Herron Park parking lot any Monday at 6:30 PM (or at 9:00 AM on the first Friday of each month). A volunteer will lead you on an easy 3-mile loop to the top of the Overlook and back.Trip time is approximately 90 minutes, depending on how much time folks want to spend enjoying the view from up top and stopping to smell the wild roses along the way. Wear comfy shoes and bring a water bottle and a snack if you like. All ages welcome.
