Conner Creek Connection is a short, easy hike in the Spotted Bear Ranger District of Flathead National Forest in northwest Montana. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is about a mile long, with a one-way climb of 54 feet from a low point of about 5,928 feet to a high of about 6,382 feet. The trail is natural-surfaced and works for hikers, horses and bikes. It is not an accessible trail, so plan for a route that suits those modes rather than one designed for mobility equipment. Conner Creek lies about 2.6 miles away, and the Wire Trail and Hall Lake Trail are both within about 4.5 miles. Swan Lake, a fishing spot, is roughly 8.6 miles off.
