Lookout Mountain Trail #52
Part of the Marble Creek trail system. This trail has a gradual ascent to an abandoned lookout tower. However, much of the route is a fairly level grade atop a high ridge which provides the hiker expansive views of the entire Marble Creek area and the Little North Fork of the Clearwater River plus Fish and Lost Lakes. Along the trail in the forested areas below Lookout Mountain there are several campsites. Excellent elk habitat. There is a spur trail to Fish Lake from Trail #52. Open to motorbikes but recommended for advanced riders.
