Located in the Clark Fork Valley approximately 115 miles NW
of Missoula, and 65 miles East of Sandpoint, Idaho, Trout Creek Montana is an
oasis of Montana hospitality. The sparkling waters of the Clark Fork River are full of
trout and bass. The surrounding scenery is fantastic and attracts browsing
wildlife, while the rushing mountain streams and sparkling blue alpine
lakes are purely exhilarating. Trout Creek is surrounded by millions of acres of National
Forest providing endless recreation opportunities for camping, wild life
viewing, berry & mushroom picking, and much more!
The Clark Fork River, a tributary of the Columbia runs the length of the Valley
in Sanders County, and is made ideal for water sports by three reservoirs open
to the public. The county encompasses the cabinet Mountain Wilderness and three
national forests. Within close proximity are Glacier National Park, the Ross
Creek Giant Cedars, Flathead Lake and Lake Pend Oreille. This quiet portion of
Montana with its lush green Valleys, rugged mountains, lakes and streams offer
a lifestyle of tranquility away from the centers of large industry, congestion,
and pollution. Quaint Communities lie nestled in the valleys and along the
banks of both the Clark Fork River and the Flathead River close enough for
comfort yet far enough apart to feel uncrowded.
Trout Creek offers many of the services of a large center
with a nice selection of businesses and unique shops. Know as the Huckleberry
Capital of the world, Trout Creek is home to the Huckleberry Thicket, a family
owned business/restaurant that serves great food and sells just about any
huckleberry product you can imagine. Another popular stop, The 'Naughty'
Pine bar/restaurant, has the best fried halibut around, as well as a large
selection of additional scrumptious menu items. A variety of other small town
businesses make Trout Creek their home, including 2 motels, 5 restaurants, 2 gas
stations, 2 convenience/grocery stores, and more! Just 15-20 away in Thompson
Falls, you also have access to Harvest Foods for those bigger grocery
shopping trips.
