A river runs right through the city of Missoula, one of the reasons that this Montana destination and nearby mountains are so popular with anglers, hikers, bikers and in winter, snow-sports enthusiasts.
Fishing is available in Rock Creek and anglers might find plentiful brook, brown and rainbow trout. Much of the stream is protected from bull or westslope cutthroat trout fishing to improve the fishery and provide food for grizzly bears. Big game hunting is possible in designated areas. Appropriate licensing is required to fish and hunt in Montana.
A variety of hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding trails and old roads climb into the steep drainages and canyons of the Bitterroot Range. The trail at the end of Forest Road 241 leads to lovely Stony Lake at over 8,000 feet in elevation.
Guests also enjoy snowmobiling, cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the area during the winter.
