Farlin Creek WSA
Values
The Farlin Creek WSA is hilly in nature and contains primarily forested habitat with open grasslands on the south facing aspects. Aspen stands and meadows border the creeks. The WSA offers opportunities for exploration, hiking, backpacking, horseback riding, and hunting.
Directions
The WSA is roughly 40 miles northwest of Dillon Montana. From Dillon, drive west on MT-278 to Taylor Creek Road and turn right. Follow Taylor Creek Road for just over 2 ½ miles to BLM Road 1878, and turn left. Follow Road 1878 north (following either the East or West Fork of Dyce Creek) for about 7 ½ miles, entering National Forest land, and ending at the Baldy 4/Hazel mines. From here it is about a 2-mile cross country hike (no trail) through the U.S. Forest Service’s Torrey Mountain Recommended Wilderness to the northeast before reaching the eastern edge of the Farlin Creek WSA.
Visitor Advisory
Hiking to this WSA requires advanced cross-country hiking and navigation skills. A high clearance vehicle is necessary for driving BLM Road 1878. Motorized travel is permitted on designated routes only. Be bear aware! Proper food storage and carrying bear spray is advised.
