Sightseeing
Wanting a quiet and peaceful lake almost all to yourself is nearly impossible to find when summer rolls around in Montana, but this gem gives you just that! This is truly a dream for a lake enthusiast, the water is calm and hidden between beautiful mountains that stand tall. Perfect for paddle boarding, kayaking, floating, or simply swimming in! There are 2 different sets of waterfalls that are an easy hike to view as well!
*This lake sits on native land, so as a visitor you’ll have to purchase a permit to camp or visit. Contact the Flathead Reservation authorities to know more information.*
