      Lake Como is one of the more popular recreational destinations in western Montana with camping and water activities in the summer. We are in the process of building additional mountain bike trails on the south side of the lake through 2021 and upgrading social trails in the area to official trails. By the time we are done there will over 20 miles of loops on the south side along with the trail around the lake. Once we are done on the south side we turn our sights on building out the north side trail system.

      In the winter the roads on the south side are groomed for skiing, fat bikes, and snowshoeing. If there is enough snow, Shannon Ridge gets groomed for winter single track.
