Hall Lake Trail is a 9.7-mile out-and-back hike in the Swan Lake Ranger District of Flathead National Forest in western Montana. The Forest Service manages the surrounding land, and the trail sits at about 3,480 feet, rising to 5,742 feet at its high point. The climb is about 1,870 feet one way. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Lindbergh Lake show July and August highs around 78°F with lows near 50°F and only about seven wet days a month. Winter is cold and snowy, with highs in the low 30s and snow on roughly half the days from November through March. Bikes and horses are both allowed on the trail, and the surface is natural. Swan Lake Campground is about 1.2 miles away, and Bond Creek and Hall Lake Feeder are both within 2.5 miles. Swan Lake, a fishing access about 4.3 miles away, rounds out the nearby options.
