Ok section, kind of dull. Agriculture & cows. Found a bit of shade by a grain elevator for lunch. Several washouts filled with tumbleweeds as you get closer to Lind.
We started in Akron and rode about 18 miles north. Loved it!!!
We ( recumbent trike & e-bike) headed West from the Kiwanis park. Turned around after 9km as the surface was really tough on the trike. There’s 2 good wheel tracks for bikes, but the trike had to ride partially in the coarse trail ballast. Scenic area with farm views and a huge windmill farm in the distance.
Started at new trailhead on south end of trail. (Rode the northern portion several years ago. This portion hadn’t been added at that time.) Trail immediately enters into the Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site. Trail is dirt road/pea gravel and nicely graded. After about a mile the trail exits the Grant-Kohrs Ranch and passes through a gate into private land, close the barbwire gate behind you. Here the trail begins to have very rough sections of roadbed in preparation for a better layer of surface at a later date. Thankfully the sections aren’t real long. The trail surface is then natural sandy soil. Nice surface but hasn’t been graded, still old ranch road bed. There are a couple of gate crossings further on, at these a bike ramp/hump has been added and can just pass over without having to fool with gate. Stopped trail at trail intersection at about mile 4.5. From intersection can continue on to north trail head at abut mile 12. Rough trail and highly recommend mountain bike. Some hills.
Nice trailhead with picnic tables, etc. along side the Clark Fork River. Short trail but paved and wanders around through trees and alongside small ponds. A couple narrow bridges. Several loops to follow. Rode from here, along trail behind the old prison, through town to the south end of the Old Yellowstone Trail.
Copperway Regional Trail – Started at north end of trail, at rest area. Nice wide and newly paved trail until it connects to the older trail portion. Rode the older section several years ago and was a nice trail. Trail is still decent but certainly needs some love with weed control. The trail seems to end at a gravel parking lot 2 miles from start. But isn’t the end. Go through the parking lot up the embankment to the highway and across the highway is a nice new trail head with paved parking and comfort station. Trail continues on for another 1 mile into a small valley (German Gulch) where the Silver Bow creek runs through. Ends at a gravel road. Close by is a ped bridge crossing the river for fishing access and trail up steam. Didn’t go up trail but might be a single track mountain bike option. Overall like this trail.
Trail was clear of snow. Lots of sand
1/31/24. I cold but sunny day for a bike ride. The trail is in good condition. I continued to ride another 8 miles on the road towards Belgrade. Saw 4 mature eagles and some deer. Unclear where to park and no restroom. I parked at the school
Wonderful trail, but who is going to take care of the weeds along it? Now that they have gone to seed the problem will get worse. ¿
Beautiful trail with gorgeous scenery. There are a few areas that are bumpy but fine if you aren’t riding a road bike.
We spent a day exploring the trails in this system, riding out to the Headwaters park, through the pond area, and along the edge of town and back. The area is stunningly beautiful, the town is full of friendly people (be sure to stop for lunch and pie at the Iron Horse in Three Forks!), and we could not have asked for a more beautiful day of riding. There are several good maps along the trail, but a few more would be helpful, especially since it's not just one trail but several that link up. We're giving this 5 stars because the scenery is so gorgeous, but the trail surface deserves a 3 or 4; some sections are smooth asphalt but some have bone-jarring cracks that need to be filled. Still-- we absolutely loved our day on this trail and can't believe we didn't see more people using it. We came to Three Forks specifically to ride this trail system, and we were not disappointed.
