Ernie Strum Trailhead

Easy-to-Miss Trail Off West Rosebud Road

Trailhead on Ernie Strum Trail in Rocky Mountains near Roscoe, MT

Constructed in 2014, the Ernie Strum Trail is a relatively new addition to the rural Fishtail, MT area. The trail starts out on BLM land and then enters State Land a little less than halfway to Lily Pad Lake. On the first ridge is a tranquil memorial to Ernie Strum who was the visionary of the trail – working for 15 years to make it happen [1]. Two log benches overlook valleys on either side. The trailhead itself is very easy to miss, as there’s only a small sign on the edge of the road. There is no official parking, but there is enough shoulder on the road to find a spot to park.
