#779 Attlebury Creek Trailhead the Forest Service's write-up

Attlebury Creek Trail #779 lies in the heart of Trout Creek Roadless Area. The upper end of the trail contains the remnants of an old mining claim and follows an old road up to the Idaho/Montana border. The trail offers alternative “loop” hiking opportunities to people hiking Trout Creek National Recreation Trail #774.

The trail crosses Attlebury Creek numerous times. The crossings are relatively easy except during extreme runoff events.

About this trail's facts

The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
