Seeley Swan to Welcome

New Seeley Lake Trail System attracts Nordic Skiers

The Snow is Best in the Seeley Swan

Nordic (cross country) skiing is a popular and growing winter sport in the Seeley Swan communities that are blessed with an abundance of snowfall. For years families and individuals have ventured onto roads and snowmobile trails, but now Seeley Lake has its own Nordic Ski Trails where no motorized vehicles are permitted. Constructed just two years ago by the USFS Seeley Lake Ranger District, the trails cover an 11-mile course with groomed trails of varying difficulty. The new trail system is one of the most popular in Northwest Montana and hosts many events by Missoula ski clubs. The annual O.S.C.R. (Over Seeley's Creeks & Ridges) Nordic Races are held at the new trail system located at the north edge of town and one mile east of Highway 83 on Cottonwood Lakes Road at the junction of Morrell Creek Road.
