Feeder Mountain is a hard hike in the Three Rivers Ranger District of Montana's Kootenai National Forest, about 6.7 miles long with an elevation gain of 881 feet. The trail runs out and back from a trailhead called Feeder Mountain TH 520, which sits at about 4,409 feet, and climbs to a high point of 5,746 feet. The route is a natural-surface trail, and it is not accessible. Bikes are allowed. The trail is open from about May 1 through November 30, and the Forest Service manages the land. Kilbrennan Lake Campground lies about 2.7 miles away, and Feeder Creek is about 2.2 miles off. Kedzie Creek and Wee Lake are both within about 3 miles.
