Within Colville National Forest, Abercrombie Trailhead provides a no-pets camping area managed by the US Forest Service. The campground sits in forested terrain with sections of open ground, positioned near both creek and river water sources. This established facility serves as a staging point for forest access in the Metaline area.
Campers can find additional places to camp near Metaline for those planning extended stays in the region. The nearby Silver Creek campground offers another option just southwest. Pet owners should note the restriction before arrival and plan accordingly for their camping needs.
Description
Abercrombie Trailhead is a small turnaround at the end of a high elevation single lane dirt road. There is an information board at the junction of the turnaround and the Abercrombie Trail #117 to let you now that you have made it to your destination. The 3.2 mile Abercrombie trail is primarily wooded until it reaches the ridge top. The ridge is open with scattered trees providing breathtaking panoramic views of the Pend Oreille and Columbia River valleys as well as the Kettle Crest. Wildflowers and huckleberries can be found during the late season and don't miss out on exploring the old Abercrombie Lookout that can be reached by going north where the established trail ends.
