The Blackfoot River is a free flowing river that originates near Lincoln on the west side of the Continental Divide near Rogers Pass. It flows approximately 100 miles in a westerly direction to the Clark Fork River near Bonner. This river is used extensively by recreationists for fishing and floating and was further distinguished in the movie “A River Runs Through It”

The Sauerkraut Creek Cabin lies in the upper Blackfoot Valley just south of the Scapegoat and Bob Marshall Wilderness Area. This is a well renowned area that is sought after for its recreational opportunities as well as its majestic scenery. The national forest areas which adjoin the Blackfoot Valley to the north and form the southern boundaries of the Glacier National Park Ecosystem consist of over 1.5 million acres designated wilderness land. The Greater Glacier National Park Ecosystem, is an area with high aesthetic and recreational appeal. In general, the area is dynamic of rural and wild environments inhabited by large populations of wildlife. The overall land ownership pattern is a mosaic of federal forest, wilderness, timber lands, and state land interspersed to a much lesser degree by deeded lands.

This wilderness area comprises the largest tract of unroaded wilderness in the lower 48 states, and constitutes approximately a 70 mile buffer with the southern boundary of Glacier National Park. The Blackfoot River valley lies on the southern boundary of this buffer zone, with Glacier National Park lying on the northern boundary.

WILDLIFE: The Sauerkraut Creek Cabin is surrounded by one large ranch comprising approximately 6500 acres. This ranch participates in the Fish, Wildlife and Parks Block Management Program that allows the public to hunt on this ranch.

The surrounding ecosystem around the Sauerkraut Creek Cabin supports a wide variety of wild game and nongame animals including elk, bighorn sheep, black and grizzly bear, mule and whitetail deer, antelope, moose, mountain lion, bobcat, wolves, coyote and fox. Indigenous birds include bald and golden eagles, numerous falcon, hawk and owl species, and migratory water fowl, including Canadian geese, trumpeter swans, blue herons, sand hill cranes, mallards, teal and innumerable other species.

Genetically pure Westslope Cutthroat and Bull Trout are found in Sauerkraut Creek. The past two years, Trout Unlimited has spent considerable time and money with the large surrounding ranch that is under a Conservation Easement. They have worked to re-channelize the upper portions of Sauerkraut Creek into slower meandering flows and improving the riparian zone adjacent to the creek.
