Twin LakesOne Way 4.0 miles, 840 feet

This is an easy hike to two pretty, not-very-popular lakes. A good choice for a kids backpack.

Description

This hike is not in the Wilderness.  The area is criss-crossed with logging roads, and there are some clearcuts.  Be sure to bring a good map.  The hike itself is not very scenic, but it’s also not very hard, and the lakes are pretty.

Getting There

From Anaconda drive 10 miles west on Montana Highway 1 to Spring Hill. Turn south on Twin Lakes Creek Road (FR 5131) and go about 3 miles. Turn left on FR 171 and continue about 0.5 mile to the national forest boundary.
