Harrell Forest Community Trails, a 5-mile wooded hiking area just a half-mile north of downtown Bigfork on Bigfork Stage Road, features a series of family-friendly, accessible loop trails designed for hikers, bikers, and runners—though e-bikes and horses are not permitted. The trails include the 2.7-mile Swan Hill Trail to Birch Loop, which winds through birch groves with flowy switchbacks, and the full 7-mile route that offers gentle loops near the summit with stunning views of Flathead Lake, the Swan River, Swan Lake, and Big Mountain. The trailhead provides ample parking, along with information and restroom facilities.
