Flathead Lake is touted as the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. Kerr Dam, at the south end of the lake, regulates the outflow and maintains the water level between 2,883 and 2,893 feet above sea level. By dropping the water level approximately 10 feet during the winter months, it generates considerable power but also maintains the water's pristine qualities as it is replenished each spring by the runoff waters from the mountains and rivers. Glacially formed with the maximum depth of 370 feet, there are 161 miles of shoreline and over 200 square miles of surface waters to entertain a multitude of recreational opportunities: canoes, kayaks, windsurfers, sailboats, fishing...you name it! The largest island in Flathead Lake, Wild Horse Island has been a landmark rich with history since the Salish-Kootenai Indians were reported to have used it to pasture horses to keep them from being stolen by other tribes.

Glacier National Park is clearly one of the biggest reasons to visit the Flathead Valley. Just an hour's drive from Bigfork, it is described as the "Crown Jewel of the Continent". Open to visitors since the early 1900's, this vast ecosystem is home to 272 bird species, 62 different mammals, 23 fish species, and 8 amphibians/reptiles, not even counting the vast numbers of trees, shrubs and wildflowers. It hosts the largest population of Grizzly Bears in the North American continent -- more than 300 according to park biologists. With over 730 miles of trails, 175 mountains, and 762 lakes, it would take years to ever feel and say that you really know Glacier National Park..
