Bitter Creek Trail (Lowman)

add an alternate name

Summary


Bitter Creek Trial - The primary trail users are motorcycle riders; horse use increases during the fall hunting season. From the undeveloped trailhead on the Lowman District, the trail fords the Deadwood River and then follows Bitter Creek up to the boundary between Lowman and Emmett Ranger Districts. The trail levels at the ridge top and then descends into the Long Fork of Silver Creek. Open meadows and granite outcrops are common on the upper section of the trail. A large loop can be made by combining this trail with the Peace Creek and Habit Creek Trails. Portions of the Bitter Creek, Peace Creek, and Habit Creek trails were burned in the Rattlesnake Fire in 2006. This trail is maintained every three years by the Lowman Ranger District Trail Crew. However, in partnership with the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation Trail Ranger Program, deadfall is removed from this trail annually. Please 'TREAD LIGHTLY'!
