Year Opened2021
From the Whitefish Trails website:
"With 3.5 miles of family-friendly loop trails, an accessible interpretive loop to an inspiring Whitefish Lake overlook, picnic tables and day use amenities, the Holbrook Overlook will once again become a valued public land recreation site just minutes from town and Whitefish Mountain Resort.
Holbrook will also serve as a starting point for longer trail adventures on the Whitefish Trail to Hellroaring Basin, over to Smith Lake, and on into the Whitefish Range. Holbrook is a critical connection on the Whitefish Trail, our community’s 55-mile recreational loop trail surrounding Whitefish Lake. WLP is currently fundraising for planning and construction of the recreation amenities at Holbrook. We hope to complete planning 2021 and begin construction thereafter."
