Bitterroot Cross Country Ski Club maintains 13 miles of ski trails
and 20 miles of multi-use trails for year-round recreation. They
do the same for 16 miles of trails at Lake Como.
The upper reaches of both the Bitterroot and Sapphire moun-
tains hold almost 100 small lakes accessible to hikers and horse-
back riders. Most are in wilderness areas so are not available by
motorized transport. The county's two largest bodies of water
are Painted Rocks Reservoir, a state park on the West Fork of the
Bitterroot twenty-six miles south of Conner, and Lake Como, a
dammed reservoir four miles west of Highway 93 south of Ham-
ilton. Both offer all water-borne activities, hiking and picnick-
