Lakes are a favorite amongst many as you can embark on a vacation to a lake anywhere in North America, swim, kayak, canoe, sail or fish and not have to worry about pesky salt water oozing through your skin. The natural beauty of a lake is what attracts hundreds of thousands of people to explore the lakes of Montana, USA.
Flathead Lake, formed by the activity of the ice-age glaciers way back when is the largest natural freshwater lake in the western USA. The lake spans some 28 miles, is 300 feet deep and 7 to 15 miles wide. Needless to say, the lake is a sight to see with The Mission Mountains to the east and The Salish Mountains to the left. With a mild climate in the Flathead Valley, there is much produce that is found throughout, which yields to even more beauty than your average run of the mill lake.
As you explore the flattest, and massiveness of this lake, you’ll soon come to realize there is plenty of room to play and explore the ins and outs of what is means to live along the shore. Miles of trees line the shore, and with unlimited recreation in and out of the water, the whole family will fall in love with the picture perfect views of Flathead Lake. Go camping, fishing, sailing, kayaking, wildlife watching, hiking, camping and exploring. The world is really yours as you embark on a vacation to Flathead Lake, it certainly will be a memorable one.
