3 Best Sights in Seeley Lake, Kalispell, Missoula, and Northwest Montana

Paddling on the 3½-miles along an isolated portion of the Clearwater River, you may see moose and will likely see songbirds, great blue herons, and belted kingfishers. The Seeley Lake Ranger Station has free maps and directions to the put-in for the two-hour paddle.

A 2½-mile hike (one-way) leads to the lovely cascades of Morrell Falls. It is actually a series of falls, with the longest about a 100-foot drop. This is a moderately difficult family hike, perfect for a picnic, and often used by bicyclists and horse riders. Maps and travel information are available at the Seeley Lake Ranger District office.

Don't forget your bear spray.

Logging's colorful past is displayed in the big log barn at Seeley Lake Museum and Visitors Center, along with tools of the trade and visitor information.
