Disc Golf

The Kootenai National Forest has three Disc golf courses.

Timber Beast in Troy

Tight trees, many ace runs, creek in play on 3 holes, feels like a rain forest. 18 baskets on a crushed stone course.

Getting Here:
West on Hwy 2 into Troy, go over Callahan Cr. to next right, then another right into museum parking lot. 1st tee at east edge of lot throwing towards river.

Libby Disc Golf Course in Libby

18 holes through trees

Getting Here:
North on Hwy 37, turn right into the J. Niels Park. First tee begins by the walking path.

Libby Dam outside of Libby

The course will begin near the Libby Dam Visitor Center parking lot. Plans call for two alternate starts on the first hole – one that allows participants to throw back toward a hillside and another near a visitor center overlook area where participants can throw down toward the same basket.

The course features loops through the woods and eventually takes players down along the lake. Later on, it hooks up with an old Libby Dam construction road where players will have some long, clear shots.

There are some challenging holes, some fun things, elevation changes and fairly long shots that are 500-feet plus.

Getting There:

Travel 17 miles north on Hwy 37, via Forest Development Road 228

Libby Area
The Libby Area has the Kootenai River from Libby Dam to Troy running through the heart of it. The Kootenai River is identified as a “blue ribbon trout stream”. The Purcell Range is located north of the River and features numerous peaks at 6000’ elevation. Turner Mountain Ski Area is located 22 miles north of Libby, providing 2200’ of vertical and 1000 acres of terrain for alpine skiing. The Cabinet Mountains are located south of the River with many peaks at 7500’ elevation. Snowshoe Peak at 8738’ is the tallest peak on the Kootenai National Forest. The Cabinet Mountains Wilderness located in this area provides visitors with self challenge, spiritual renewal, solitude, alpine scenery, and the opportunity to view unique wildlife (grizzly bear, mountain goat, wolverine, Canadian lynx, and peregrine falcons) and wildflowers. Over 132 species of wildflowers have been found in the Wilderness. Access into the Wilderness is by one of many non-motorized hiking trails.
