Copper Creek Road - FS 330

Trail Overview

Copper Creek Road is an out-and-back, well-maintained Forest Service Road that leads to multiple points of interest, including the trailhead spur to Indian Meadows Trail/Indian Meadows campground and the Indian Meadows Guard station, which is available for rent in the winter months, catering mainly to snowmobilers. Copper Creek Road terminates at the Copper Creek Spur A1, which leads to the SE Section 4 mine and the Copper Camp Mine, and also Upper Copper Creek Lake. The A1 spur is only available seasonally from July 1 to September 1. Midway on the route is Copper Creek USFS campground and the trailhead to Snowbank Creek. Copper Creek Road is notable for its beauty as it follows a valley into the Flathead Mountains with peaks fully surrounding you. The road is passable by most vehicles, but it does get narrower and rockier once past Copper Creek Campground. Given its geography, be mindful of weather conditions, as this is considered Montana backcountry.
