WATCH OUT FOR BEARS--seriously. If you're planning on hiking or going into the mountains/wilderness outside of town, you'll need to bring bear spray. HIKES: Pine Creek Falls and Lake Passage Creek Elbow Creek Falls Trail Creek SWIMMING/FISHING/ROCKHOUNDING There are many places to walk along the river in town and near town; some of these places aren't good for swimming. Depending on water levels, the current can be swift as the river flows through town. A couple of our favorites: The levee along Sacajawea Park Free River Fishing Access Emigrant Fishing Access Site Sheep Mountain Fishing Access Site For FISHING, go to Dan Bailey's in town for fishing info. You'll need a few different fishing licenses. Dan Bailey's might also rent fishing gear but not sure. . . . . . . . .
