Hemlock Feeder is a short, easy hike in the Mission Mountains Wilderness, part of the Swan Lake Ranger District of Flathead National Forest in northwest Montana. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is about half a mile long with a one-way climb of about 130 feet, from a low point of roughly 5,878 feet to a high of about 6,032 feet. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows horses, so it works well for riders. Bikes are not permitted. Hemlock Lake and Hemlock Point are both about 1.3 miles away. Glacier Creek, a canoeing spot, is about 3.2 miles off, and Lindbergh Lake Campground is about 5.5 miles away.
