Miller Creek Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Miller Creek Road can be accessed from town. It starts off as a paved road, but as you climb further and further from the city, the road turns to dirt. You can go out as far as you like, and then it's a fast downhill all the way back to Missoula.

Kim Williams Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Kim Williams Trail is a super popular trail in Missoula. It follows along the river the majority of the way, but it is often times tucked in the trees without a lot of views. The section of trail furthest west is a really smooth paved and dirt path. As you get further east, the trail narrows and becomes bumpier. Some choose to ride a bike with more suspension for this rougher section, but most touring bikes can handle the trail just fine from start to finish.

Jacob's Island

Highlight • Natural

Jacob's Island is a dog park on the banks of Clark Fork River. The park is 6 acres and the river works as a beautiful natural barrier for the dogs. It also offers a series of paved and unpaved trails, benches, picnic tables and dog-waste bags.
