Trail Overview

The South Meadow Creek Lake Trail is an out and back in Beaverhead National Forest, Montana. The trail has beautiful views throughout, especially at the mountain lake. The first half is very easy and then gets increasingly difficult during the climb. The obstacles in the final stretch will likely be impassable for stock SUVs and trucks. There's old mining equipment to explore before the trail gets too difficult. Several campsites are along the trail and at the lake. The trail doesn't have cell service so be sure to download offline maps.

Difficulty

The final climb to the lake will require a modified SUV or truck.
