Landers Fork Trail is a hard hike of about 33.7 miles in the Scapegoat Wilderness, part of the Lincoln Ranger District of the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest in Montana. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is a natural-surface route that allows horses. The trail is an out-and-back with a one-way climb of about 1,373 feet, starting at roughly 5,332 feet and reaching about 7,133 feet at the high point. That makes it a long, steep route, and it's best suited to hikers and riders who plan for a full day on foot.

Copper Creek Campground is about 3 miles away for anyone planning an overnight stay.
