The Whitefish Trail has grown into 47 miles of single-track trail with 15 trailheads, connecting our community to the open lands we love. But we’re not finished yet; we are fundraising to build the newest section of the Whitefish Trail from Rainbow Lake to Murray Lake in the Beaver Lakes area.
With your support, this trail will:🌿 Open access to more forests, lakes, and viewpoints🚴♀️ Provide more opportunities for hiking, biking, and family adventures
