V.Attractions

1.Chalco Hills Recreation Area

 ₋North Kootenai Lake Via Kootenai Creek Trail is a 31.2 kilometer moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Stevensville, Montana that features a lake and is rated as moderate. The trail I primarily used for hiking, trail running, camping, and backpacking and is best used from July until September. Dogs are also able to use this trail.

₋Arriving at Kootenai Creek trailhead, you’ll find adequate parking, hitching rails and a stock ramp—just in case you brought your horse—and the all-important vault toilet. There are also signs advising how to hike safely in this part of the Bitterroot National Forest. And, yes, bring bear spray—a must for any Montana hiking trail.

₋Our Kooetenai Creek hiking day usually go like this: When we start our hike around 7 a.m., the trail belongs to us for about the first two hours, although we do have to be vigilant for gifts that horses have deposited along the way—Kootenai Creek Trail is multi-use.

₋On the return portion of the hike, the traffic picks up. We meet hikers of all ages on the trail, many bring their dogs along and some are toting a fishing pole as they look for just the right spot on the creek for fly-fishing. It’s a friendly crowd and, every time, we return to the trailhead with lots of advice for the next hike.

VI.History

-Gretna started shortly after the Burlington Railroad built a short line between Omaha and Ashland in the summer of 1886. Advent of the village of Gretna on this new laid rail line was the cue for the exit of the nearby trading post of Forest City, which had existed since 1856. In its day, Forest City, located 2.5 miles southwest of where Gretna now stands, was a flourishing and busy place, but it was doomed by the rail road which passed it by. The only marker that exists today to show the site of old Forest City is the cemetery (Holy Sepulcher) which is located a little to the east of what was the center of activity in the settlement. Names that were prominent in the beginnings of Forest City were the families of William Langdon, John Thomas and John Conner.

-The Lincoln Land Company, recognizing the potential of the site, surveyed and platted the town site of Gretna in 1887. The village was incorporated by July 10, 1889. The name suggests Scotland's Gretna Green, the ancestral county of some of the earliest settlers.
