The Sylvia Lake Trail is about ten miles of narrow, single-track woods trails within the Flathead National Forest. The trail has moderate elevation changes and a mix of loose dirt and hardpack, with a few rocks and trees overgrowing the trail, which can make it difficult at times. The trail is best suited for intermediate riders, with some expert terrain and a small amount for beginners.
The trails are for motorcycles only, and ATVs, UTVs, and Jeeps are prohibited. There is a campground near the trailhead, and camping is allowed in some areas.Dirt Bike Trail System
