Harrison Creek is a hard hike in the Spotted Bear Ranger District of Flathead National Forest in northwest Montana, about 16.6 miles long and with a one-way elevation gain of 3,017 feet. The trail is natural-surface and rated hard, and it is not accessible. Horses are allowed, but bikes are not. The route is an out-and-back that starts at about 3,954 feet and climbs to about 7,565 feet. That makes it a long, steep day, so plan for a full commitment. Several other destinations sit close by. Lost Jack Creek and Meadow Mtn. are both hikes within about a mile and a half. The South Fork Flathead River offers canoeing about 1.8 miles away, and Beaver Creek Campground is about 5 miles off for an overnight base.
