Fisher Divide is a hard hike of about 14.5 miles on natural surface in the Libby Ranger District of the Kootenai National Forest in northwest Montana. The Forest Service manages the land. The trail is an out-and-back with a low point of about 3,600 feet and a high of about 5,500 feet, and the one-way climb is roughly 2,700 feet. Bikes are allowed on the route, which makes it an option for riders as well as hikers. The trail's length and elevation make it a serious outing, so plan for a full day on foot or on two wheels. Leckrone Creek and Swamp Creek are both within about 4 miles. Howard Lake Campground and the Fisher River, a paddling route, sit a little over 7 miles away.
