February 11, 2026 - Dog Creek Lodge is set on 80 pristine acres surrounded by public land in a spectacular and remote northwest corner of Montana.

Featuring approximately 34km of groomed dog-friendly trails for skate and classic skiing on varied terrain, the trails are especially friendly for beginners and intermediates, although there’s some challenging terrain as well.

The Main Lodge welcomes up to 12 guests, and along with an adjoining Guest Lodge, the entire estate can accommodate up to 34 overnight visitors, great for weddings, reunions or special events. Overnight guests enjoy free access to the trail network.

Their on-site restaurant and bar is a great place to refuel after a day on the trails with wood-fired pizza and much more.

Dog Creek Lodge’s rental fleet includes waxless classic skis, skate skis, snowshoes and fat bikes and nearby you can also enjoy dogsledding, snowmobiling and downhill skiing.
