Thompson Falls High Bridge

The High Bridge was built in 1911. It was renovated and re-opened to pedestrian traffic in May of 2010, and has received many preservation awards. The Historic High Bridge affords a stunning view of the dam, fish ladder, nesting osprey, and a beautiful vista of the Clark Fork River. The bridge is just south of the intersection of Gallatin and Preston Avenue in scenic Thompson Falls, MT.

Easy walk after parking at the end of Gallatin Street in Thompson Falls. There are descriptive signs explaining the origination of the dam project - amazingly, over 100 years old! Great walk about to view the dam and fish ladder - there are two bridges to cross, be sure to do both - which we found highly entertaining. Technically, it’s not a falls, just a spillover from the hydroelectric dam, but still, a good one hour activity.

Thompson Falls Community Trails

Thompson Falls Community Trails is made up of the Powerhouse Loop Trail (2.3 miles) and the State Park Trail (1.4) which connects downtown Thompson Falls to the Thompson Falls State Park. This trail follows the beautiful Clark Fork River below the Thompson Falls Dam. Wildlife viewing, sandy beaches and geologic structures are best kept secrets along this non-motorized route!

Take a fun, free walk with the family along the water. Explore the dam and go to Minnies for lunch or breakfast after.
