Head out beyond the gate on the paved road, and start looking for old logging roads and ATV trails. There are a whole bunch lying around back in there that run next to the lake in places, affording some good views of the lake and the mountains. If you live in Bigfork, this may be worth checking out, otherwise I would not drive a long ways to ride this. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
