Kootenai River Trail

The Kootenai River Trail in Libby offers scenic hiking and mountain biking access along the blue-gray glacial waters of the Kootenai River, with the trail extending to Kootenai Falls and the famous Swinging Bridge.

The improved trail features gravel surfaces and creek crossings suitable for hiking and mountain bikes, though the section near the falls becomes steep and may require walking or carrying bikes.

Wildlife viewing opportunities include deer, bear, mountain lion, and mountain goats, plus a historic apple orchard along the route.
