About Fleetwood Point

Fleetwood Point is a summit of 4,804 feet in the Libby Ranger District of Kootenai National Forest in northwest Montana, about 9.4 miles from the town of Libby. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Libby put July and August highs around 78°F, with lows in the low 40s and only about six wet days a month. That station sits well below the summit, so expect cooler temperatures up top. The closest neighbors are Alexander Mountain and Alexander Mountain Trail #270, both under 3 miles away, and Yarnell Island at about 3.6 miles. The Kootenai River, about 4.2 miles off, offers river fishing.
