In a state as beautiful as Montana, it’s impossible to determine the best hiking trail. Luckily, you’ll never have to — with so many hikes ranging from easy and family-friendly to extremely challenging, there’s always a new trail to try. However, we happen to think the Holland Lake Trail would be a top contender for the spot — after all, it’s not every day you’ll stumble upon a trail with both a waterfall and a shimmering lake.
You’ll find the Holland Lake Trail in Northwest Montana near the town of Condon.
Kristina Migaleddi /alltrails.com It’s surrounded by the Swan and Mission Mountains in an incredibly beautiful part of the state.
The trail is about 3.3 miles long and it’s considered to be a good hike for all skill levels.
Robert Greer / alltrails.com The climb is gradual, and the trail is well-marked. If your entire family likes to hike, you can bring them along.
The trail starts at the end of the parking area to the right – it’s marked as Trail 416.
Phill Guay / alltrails.com Right away, you’ll climb about 750 feet.
Quite a bit of the hike is actually done lakeside, which is as wonderful as it sounds.
Hannah Eastburn / alltrails.com The views are so stunning, you’ll almost (almost) forget you’re exercising.
Holland Lake spans 400 acres and is good for swimming, canoeing, waterskiing, and boating.
Robert Greer / alltrails.com Its gorgeous, crystal-clear water makes it even more appealing.
Keep going and you’ll spot Holland Falls, an impressive 50-foot waterfall in the forest.
Robert Greer / alltrails.com It’s nice to sit near the falls and feel the gentle mist from the water on a hot summer day.
Need to spend some time in nature? Hike the Holland Lake Trail before summer is over.
