Flathead Lake
Flathead Lake
Activities
Created by Ice Age glaciers, almost thirty miles long and fifteen miles across at it’s widest point, Flathead lake is the largest natural lake in western U.S. A 160 mile shoreline and water covers nearly two-hundred square miles of Montana – and at 300 feet deep, you’d better restring your fishing reel with some extra line. Whitewater rafting is a fun family experience and there are a number of companies in the Flathead Valley that offer rafting trips on a number of rivers in the area. The best time to ride the rapids is in spring and early summer to take advantage of the snow melt and raging rivers. If you like to fish and the idea of landing a HUGE Lake Trout sounds appealing, you need to think about adding a fishing charter to your ‘bucket list’.
Transportation
Flathead Lake lies in the shadows of Glacier National Park and Whitefish Mountain ski resort to the north. Two scenic highways parallel the lake. On the west side, US Highway 93, and Route 35 on the east wind along the curving shorelines offering majestic views of the lake, mountains and the scenery that made Montana famous.
Food & Drink
Flathead Lake offers numerous restaurants, saloons and sandwich shops on both sides of the Lake. Keep these ideas in mind when you are planning your Montana escape.
Unfortunately there are no self-catering offers at this location at the moment.
