Great American Rail-Trail

such a beautiful trail!

October, 2024 by sherryschie

We started in Akron and rode about 18 miles north. Loved it!!!

Jackrabbit Lane Shared-Use Path

decent route

September, 2024 by rowanthompsontschimperle

It’s good if you’re looking for a straight shot up to Belgrade however it definitely is not very scenic as there is heavy traffic right next to it. Also there are a decent few cracks in the road so if you don’t have any suspension on your bike be careful.

Bitterroot Trail

Bike path next to Highway 93

September, 2024 by keizer96

Really badly maintained and noisy trail. You're better off riding the actual shoulders of 93, far less hilly and definitly no weird bumpy patches every 2 feet.

Bitterroot Trail

Some views. Mostly Hwy noise.

September, 2024 by jimbeezer55

Too close to a chaotic 4 lane high volume Hwy. Too noisy. Not actually near the Bitterroot River. Go to the Rio Grande Trail in Colorado to see how a river path should be constructed.

Tobacco River Memorial Trail (Kootenai Trail)

Peaceful but a bridge is missing

August, 2024 by mrsbjsmith

We started in Eureka and when we got to the part where is shows the trail over the water, there was no way to cross the river, it dead ends. We took the road to the left and it took us through dispersed camping but the roads were so rough, we decided not to go further. It was just too rough for us. If it stayed the trail it would have been wonderful.

River's Edge Trail (MT)

Paved and Not

August, 2024 by acewickwire

I rode the paved portions of the trail and are nicely done. Generally wide and smooth. Some trail signage and information panels along the way, as well as a variety of art objects. Had a bit of trouble with the posted trail system map, I’m generally pretty good with maps. Did enjoy the portions I rode and would highly recommend if in Great Falls. Over two day period rode 30 miles of the trail system, some portions were out and back. Enjoyed the west end of the system the best which included the 3.5 mile urban loop plus the loop around Gibson Park. Take a swing through Giant Springs State Park it is well worth a visit. Don’t forget to stop at the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center, a must see.

Great Northern Historical Trail

Did It Again

August, 2024 by acewickwire

Back in Kalispell and needed to take a ride. Started at Meridian Road and went west towards Kila. Turned around at Batavia. Homeless under the first bridge and another guy parked truck on trail near bridge. Otherwise nice ride until it goes along busy Hwy 2. Just noisy along that part. A number of folks out on Sunday morning.

Great American Rail-Trail

West bound from Ellensburg. August 2024

August, 2024 by tastesbadtobears

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.

Polson Bike Transit Loop

Okay

August, 2024 by acewickwire

We started at Riverside Park and followed the trail clockwise (the best direction unless a steep hill climb is preferred). Through town we didn’t follow the map exactly, avoided travelling on Main street where more traffic and no bike lanes. There are not any trail signs to follow. Eventually the trail connects to the Carol Sampson Sherick trail. This is the portion of trail which was the old railroad bed. Trail is wide and nicely paved, easy railroad grade climb to top of hill. Saw a couple deer along the trail. Trail could use some weed control love and crack seal but over all good. If wanting a long ride can continue straight at top of hill and follow wide paved path all the way to Ronan. We turned right on Caffrey road, the trail follows alongside road with a curb between road and trail. Next intersection made the right turn and eventually climbed to top of hill overlooking Polson and Flathead Lake. Then the trail goes down the steep grade into town. Eventually wandered city streets back to start. My mileage was to be 10.5 miles and very little deviation from trail, if anything we were a bit short on mileage from not exactly following map. Overall, some nice portions and some not so nice.

River's Edge Trail (MT)

small section

August, 2024 by swvn2cp6ym

There was a small section of the trail that was good as far as a paved trail goes. When I go back I’ll check if I missed something. Then I’ll update this.

Jim Dutcher Trail

I guess

August, 2024 by swvn2cp6ym

It’s ok. A little on the boring side. Better than a kick in the head

Old Yellowstone Trail

Ridin' The GART - Still

August, 2024 by acewickwire

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.
