Noxon

The town is located on the Clark Fork River and Montana Highway 200. Specific points of interest include the viewpoint at Pilgrim Creek Park, fishing at Noxon Reservoir, and a hike to the lookout tower north of town. These features distinguish the river landscape, fishing opportunities, and a hiking option. Which of these is most important to you can help you decide whether Noxon is the right destination for your trip.

Noxon on the River

The Clark Fork River is a defining feature of Noxon. The connection is especially clear at the eastern edge of town, where Pilgrim Creek Park sits on the river’s south bank. The park offers a viewpoint overlooking the Clark Fork River, where it flows into Cabinet Gorge Reservoir. For your trip planning, the park’s location is linked to a named stretch of river and a viewpoint. If you want the river landscape to be a focus when choosing your destination, the park is a specific point of interest in Noxon.

Fishing at Noxon Reservoir

Noxon Reservoir is a distinct point of interest for fishing enthusiasts. Most fishing there is done from a boat, and available fishing opportunities include largemouth and smallmouth bass as well as northern pike. This outlines both the type of fishing and the fish species mentioned. For trip planning, this focus can be distinguished from the river views at Pilgrim Creek Park: here, fishing at the reservoir takes center stage, while there, the focus is on the viewpoint overlooking the Clark Fork River. You can then weigh which of these themes is more important for your stay.

Road connections in and around Noxon

The historic Noxon Bridge leads travelers into the community of Noxon. In the regional area, the Clark Fork Scenic Drive follows Montana Highway 200 toward Thompson Falls and offers views of Noxon Rapids Dam. The bridge and the route provide different ways to get your bearings: the bridge leads into the community, while the Scenic Drive describes a regional trip along the highway. If such a drive is part of your trip, views of Noxon Rapids Dam are among the scenic features along this route. Noxon itself is on Montana Highway 200; the river and the road thus represent two different aspects of the destination.

Hike to Berray Mountain Lookout

Berray Mountain Lookout is in the mountains north of Noxon. The Berray Mountain West Trail leads to the lookout tower on a hike of about 2 miles. This gives you a named destination and an approximate distance to help with planning. Check trail conditions before your hike. This outing adds a mountain hike north of town to Noxon’s river and road connections.

Wooded landscapes and huckleberries

The area around Noxon is heavily forested. Huckleberry picking is also associated with the area. This regional feature adds a gathering activity to the specific interests of viewpoints, fishing, and hiking. If you want to get a sense of Noxon beyond individual places to visit, the forested landscape offers another perspective. Huckleberry picking is a distinct feature of the area and can be considered alongside the river, reservoir, and mountain hike when choosing a destination.
