Trout Lake Trail

    Hiking Fools

    Monday, January 12, 2026 - 22 minutes

    This trail offers an opportunity to hike up and over Howe Ridge to a pretty little lake nestled in among a densely forested cove. This a challenging climb but leads to some less-traveled wooded areas with excellent views of Lake McDonald, the largest lake in Glacier National Park.
