Trail Overview

Great run between Lincoln, Montana, and Coopers Lake, which is an Alpine lake in Lolo National Forest. The lake is very reminiscent of Lake Macdonald in Glacier, to some extent. Generally smooth trail, well-maintained and graded. Lots of wildlife, we spooked a good-sized bear around one turn in the trail. Great day trip out of Lincoln.
