About this campground

Twin Lakes Trailhead has adequate parking for both cars and trailers. It offers access to the Moose Creek Trail # 421 over Lost Horse Pass and the Wahoo Creek Trail over Wahoo Pass. Trails leading out almost immediately enter the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. Facilites include a vault toilet. Close camping is readily available at Schumaker.

Getting there

From Darby, MT travel 7 miles north on Highway 93. Turn west (left) on Lost Horse Road FS 429 and travel approximately 18 miles. Take the north fork (right) at the Lost Horse Cabin onto FS 5605 and follow approximately 2 miles. Continue past the Schumaker Campground turn-off and along the west side of the lake to the trailhead.  Forest Road #429 can be extremely rough due to many potholes and rocks. Recommend high clearance vehicles.
