Lost Trail National Wildlife Refuge

Lost Trail National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is located in the west-central portion of Flathead County in the serene and picturesque mountain drainage known as Pleasant Valley. The Refuge was acquired in August of 1999 and is the 519th Refuge in the National Wildlife Refuge System. Prior to acquisition, Refuge lands were privately owned and managed as a cattle and horse ranch known as Lost Trail Ranch.

Lost Trail NWR can be reached via Highway 2 by traveling west from Kalispell approximately 20 miles to Marion. Turn north at Marion onto Pleasant Valley Road. After approximately 1.3 miles, take the right fork and continue on the blacktop until reaching the graveled road; continue on the gravel road for approximately 13 miles. The Refuge Headquarters is located north of the county road.
