The Seeley Creek Nordic Ski Trail system is undoubtedly the best-kept Nordic secret in the Rockies. An unbeatable combination of reliable snow (most years), trail layout and a consistent grooming schedule makes the Seeley Creek ski trails one of the premier Nordic trail systems in the region.​ This is not a private resort. Rather it is an outstanding trail system adjacent to a small town. Overnight accommodations and various eateries are available in the town of Seeley Lake.
​
Boasting a variety of terrain appealing to all levels of skiers from first-time beginners to expert racers, the Seeley Creek trail system is situated on the Lolo National Forest and maintained under a cooperative agreement between the Seeley Lake Nordic Ski Club and the Lolo National Forest. No user fees are charged but donations are encouraged and may be left in the “metal ranger” at the trailhead or mailed, or you may donate electronically. All donations go directly towards maintenance and grooming of the trail system.
​
The ski trails are designed and groomed for cross country skiing. While allowed on the trail system during the non-grooming months, hiking, snowshoeing, biking and dogs are forbidden on the groomed ski trails to prevent damage to the groomed surface and reduce conflicts. These activities are all permitted during the winter on the snowmobile trail adjacent to the ski trails.
