Bigfoot Creek to Hay Creek

Trail Overview

Running just east of Montana's State Route 399 / Whitetail Road, you'll find this trail meandering through the eastern slopes of Deer Lodge National Forest. Outstanding views, a few obstacles and trails just wide enough to squeeze a full-size truck through. About 4.75 miles in, as you head south from Boulder MT there is a small section that has been washed away and requires a bit of finesse to navigate without further damage to the road surface. Some have placed tree limbs in the mud, but traction boards or a winch are recommended. It's not completely necessary, but it will prevent erosion or wheel spin. Remember to tread lightly.
