Enchanted Neighborhood is a climbing area in Montana's Kootenai National Forest, within the Rexford Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land. Late summer is the warmest stretch for climbing here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Eureka put August highs around 86°F with lows near 51°F, and the area sits a few hundred feet higher than that station, so temperatures on the cliff may run slightly cooler. The climbing area holds five routes, with sport and trad styles covering grades from 5.7 to 5.11-. Pooh's Honey Jar and Eyore's Tail are sport routes, while Disenchanted Neighborhood is the hardest at 5.11-. Yoshi's Island and Mario Land Boulders are climbing areas about a third of a mile away, and the Koocanusa Area offers lake fishing about 0.8 miles off. Beartrap Ponds, a hike roughly 2.6 miles away, rounds out the nearby options.
