Ride with Us

We are truly blessed with some incredible terrain and trails here in northwest Montana.  The FSA maintains and grooms three trail systems in the Flathead Valley.  Over 200 miles of trails are groomed regularly.


You need a Trail Pass to ride Montana Trails.  Every dollar collected for trail passes goes into trail maintenance.  Trail Pass Info
And if you are riding up on State Lands (Olney / Fitzsimmons / Upper Whitefish areas), you need to have a valid Montana Conservation Tag (for every person age 12+).  This is only needed if you ride on/thru the State Forest. 
​
Special Notice: Fitzsimmons Trailhead: The road to the trailhead can be extremely icy—chains are strongly recommended. The parking lot is small and not ideal for large trailers. Please consider using other trailheads if you're hauling a big rig.

Area Maps

Canyon Creek

Riding the back of Big Mountain, this trail system has some of the best on and off trail riding available in the area.  A spur trail will also take you to the top of Big Mountain where you can have lunch at the Summit House run by Whitefish Resort.

Desert Mountain

Desert Mountain is a fun day or half day ride.  When clear, you can see all the way to Big Mountain and down to Flathead Lake from the top of the mountain.  A second trail loops through wilderness terrain with some spectacular vistas. There are no services/restrooms on this trail.

Crane Mountain

The Crane Mountain Trail is an often overlooked gem of a trail that connects Ferndale to the lower end of Swan Lake.   A separate spur trail goes up to Mission Well that can offer some incredible powder riding after a fresh snow.  There are no services/restrooms on this trail.

Trail Maps

FSA is partnering with Trail Treker (a local Montana-based company) to provide it's members with high resolution, GPS-enabled trail maps for all three areas we maintain.  Members purchase the Trail Treker app (Apple or Android) for $2 on the app store and will receive a code from the FSA to get all three maps (a $6 value) to download the maps to their smartphone. 
Once loaded, the map is cached on your smartphone and shows you where you at any time WITHOUT phone service!  We are proud to support a local company and even more pleased that we can bring our members this added piece of mind on the trails.
