My wife and I rode the Shortlineline trail on a recent visit to Yellowstone. We had a terrific time. The scenery was breathtaking. Especially the parts of the trail that ran next to the South Fork of the Madison river. The trail ascends at a very gentle 1% to 3% grade. But we were super impressed with how well maintained the trail is and the informational signs along the way were excellent and very interesting. Personally, we were kind of grateful that E bikes are not permitted on the trail. I’m sure that’s somewhat controversial, but it definitely meant that this experience for us was extremely peaceful and quieted our souls.
First, it states on here that no e-bikes are allowed. One of the staff at the campground we were staying, said she sees e-bikes on it all the time. So, we took our chances. Yes, there are several signs stating no e-bikes. We kept our speed around 10 mph, and always pedaled. Very peaceful and beautiful trail. We saw a coyote and a deer. Riding along the shoreline of the river was serene.
Extremely nice trail has a great flow to it like a good rail trail would enjoyed it quite a bit twice actually. Camped at Spring Hill Campground very nice Campground, did some shopping at Albertson’s. What a great little store served my needs well. Thank you Town of Anaconda Montana
Short trail in the valley, all dirt and gravel, we were able to get a total of 2 mi distance out of it. Beautiful and easy to get to! Great place for a morning walk. We will definitely come back.
I have been hiking this trail for over 30 years. It never gets old. There are trestles, a tunnel and a small "town" that has a jail. Expect a lot of bushwhacking along the trail. Frequent water crossings - the water is cold even in the hot months. Practice "leave no trace" for human waste - toilets only at the two THs. TH parking is limited. Pack it in/Pack it out - I have hauled out 3 large sized trash bags over the years - clothing, toys, shoes, tents, bottles, cans, etc. There is verified puma and black bear activity - you might even get to see them. When the train was operating, it was called the trout train - there were special times when the train would haul fishermen into the canyon, drop them off and then pick them up on the return trip. Pull noxious weeds when you can and remove from the park. No cell service either. This park is listed as a "primitive" park - let's keep it that way.
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.
The bottom of this trail connects to the Alkali creek trail which follow the creek in both directions. It also runs through two under-road tunnels and up to the top of the Rimrocks.
We started in Akron and rode about 18 miles north. Loved it!!!
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.
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.
