Limestone Creek is a hard hike in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, part of the Spotted Bear Ranger District of Flathead National Forest in northwest Montana. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is an out-and-back that climbs from about 5,224 feet to about 7,482 feet over roughly 12.7 miles, with a total elevation gain of about 2,152 feet. The trail is natural-surface and not accessible. Horses are allowed, but bikes are not. That makes it a route for hikers and riders on horseback rather than for anyone relying on a wheelchair or a bike. Several other hikes sit within a few miles, including Calf Creek about 2 miles away and Bar Creek and Dry Fork within about 3 miles. Paddlers can find Danaher Creek about 4.5 miles off.
