It doesn’t get much prettier than the Idaho panhandle. Situated between Big Sky Country of Montana and the vibrant evergreen fields of Washington (which seriously look Photoshopped to the naked eye), this forest holds more than half the state’s surface waters, and wilderness vibes are guaranteed by the deer, elk, bear, caribou, and wolf populations who call this spot home. Moist maritime air comes in from the Pacific coast, and historic cabins dot the landscape. Near Spokane and the border can get busy on the weekends, but with this much acreage you can always find seclusion here. Make sure to check out at least a portion of the bikeable and walkable Hiawatha Trail—weaving 15 miles through tunnels and across high steel trestles in the Bitterroot Mountains, it’s been called one of the most scenic stretches of railroad in the country.

Weekend Trip to Monk's Ridge, Island Lake

It was a beautiful spot to camp at. Clean, quiet, and lots of room to yourself. I was hoping for a lake to swim in, but it was more of a fishing lake. The family loved the fishing!! The picnic table was a bonus. Everyone really liked that spot, including the dogs!

It was a great place to stay and wound up being really close to the disc golf course we wanted to play. They had cute little goats they were very accommodating and had the generator that we needed for my CPAP machine. We had no issues and it was a quiet great Montana place to stay.

Me and my best friend arrived at 2:30 and Ben was not available when we arrived due to an emergency, but immediately picked up the phone to make us feel comfortable and gave us an over the phone tour until he came back home. It’s a huge camping site and they were all very welcoming and kind. We unfortunately were not able to use the zip line but we used the rope swing and paddle boards provided. The trail about 10 minutes away is not marked on any trail apps, but is very beautiful once you’re up there. Ben offered to give us directions if we could not find it, but it was pretty easy to come across! We were offered us some fresh strawberries from the farm which was very gracious!! All in all very sweet people, amazing (mostly private) campsite, would absolutely recommend, and will definitely be coming back.
