Overview

This picturesque trail provides easy access to several camping areas and picnic areas along the shoreline of Hebgen Lake Reservoir. You can plan a full day with a picnic by the lake or take a ride along the shore for a few hours. The trail will, for sure, bring you a lot of enjoyable moments.

Hebgen Lake Road is located in the Custer Gallatin National Forest only 20 minutes west of West Yellowstone, Montana and the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park.
