Intermediate, fat tire e-bike.
Updated October 15, 2026
This is a beautiful ride that you can take right from the Montana E-Bike shop! This 25-mile snow ride is for intermediate riders. This ride is part in town and part on groomed paths in the wilderness area.
The Ride: From the store, head north (turn right) on Spokane Avenue in front of the shop and stay in the bike lane. You will follow that to 2nd Ave and take a right. Follow that route until you reach a T intersection and turn right onto Edgewood Drive. You will be on Edgewood Drive for 0.8 miles. This is a road shared with cars, and you will need to ride single file until you turn left onto Haskill Basin Road. Be on the lookout as the road sneaks up on you. (One easy way to find this road is by searching Haskill Basin Rd in Maps on your phone.)
Once you make the left turn onto Haskill Basin Road, you will ride 2.3 miles to the Haskell Basin Trailhead. You see a white sign on your left-hand side that says ‘Stolze Property’. You will ride through the parking area and around the gate onto the groomed trails. Bikes and snowshoes must be kept on the right side of the trail in both directions to prevent damage to the cross-country skiing area. You will ride on the well-marked Haskill Highway for 4.2 miles and then do the Lake Loop, which is 2.8 miles. Once you have done the loop, you will head back on the Haskill Highway towards the trailhead.
Once you are back at the trailhead, you will make your way into town or back to the Montana E-Bikes shop. The total ride from our shop and back is 25 miles round trip.
Important Notes For The Ride: 1. Once you reach the groomed trail, use the side of the trail designated for bikes and snowshoes. Please stay on the bike/snowshoe side so that we keep the cross-country track in good condition for skiers and skaters.
