Description:
The U.S. 93 south pedestrian/bike path is a paved path separated from U.S. 93. It is located along the west side of the highway. It begins just south of the U.S. 93/U.S. 12 intersection in Lolo and ends just south of the S. Kootenai Creek Rd./U.S. 93 intersection. It goes through the small town of Florence. A rail corridor runs along the east side of U.S. 93. The path's distance from the highway varies, and grades are gentle. To the west one can view the Bitterroot Mountains, and to the east are the Sapphire Mountains. There is a pair of tunnels under the highway between Lolo and Florence that allows one to ride for a few miles along the east side of the highway. Several park and ride lots can be used for leaving a vehicle. When complete, the path will extend all the way from Lolo south to Hamilton.

My 2nd ride on this trail
By rondi in August, 2010
This is the 2nd time I've been to this area and rode the trail. It seemed like a nicer ride this time. Just as much highway noise, but it is still a nice ride. The paved trail ends about 4-5 miles north of Victor, but paving is being done, and it will be complete to Victor in 2010, and complete to Hamilton in 2012.

Enjoy the ride,
Ron
Nice but noisy multiuse trail
By rondi in August, 2009
I rode this trail last weekend. It is a very nice setting, except it varies from 4ft to maybe 20ft away from US93. The bridges are grooved for winter driving, and every time a vehicle goes over them, the tires "zing".

But the scenery is great, lots of fields with crops or cattle grazing. I parked at the Lolo Post Office, for lack any better place to park. On my way back, i stopped at the fire station and asked "where do folks who use the trail park", and I was told---just next door at the Lolo Community Center. Lots of parking, it's run by the city so you don't have to worry about your wheels being towed. On the south end of the trail, on the north end of Stevensville, on the corner of US93 and North Kootenai Creek Rd is a Trailhead with parking. As mentioned in the writeup, there are Park and Rides lots along US93, some with tunnels to get to the trail.

According to locals, this is not a Rails to Trails trail. There was never a RR where this trail is---not that it matters---kudos to whoever decided to put it here :)

I will ride this trail again when I'm in the area,
Ron
