Sightseeing

A few of the must-see sights and towns around our home.
The largest natural, fresh-water lake west of the Missouri River. A great place to cool off on warm summer days. Rent a pontoon, kayak, or paddle board for an unforgettable day on a blue lake surrounded by stunning MT mountains.

If Glacier is too busy, or you just want to hike elsewhere, check out Jewel Basin; a National Hiking Area that is home to pristine mountain lakes maintained exclusively for hiking and camping. It's a local favorite only 45 minutes from Kalispell.

Lakeside is a small lakeside-town on the west shore of Flathead Lake. You'll find public access to the lake, watercraft rentals, and a great brewery, Tamarak Brewery, to grab a bite and beer after a long day on the water!

Market

Our weekly summer-time markets are a great place to find local food, listen to live music, and enjoy a beer (or three) while you socialize with other travelers and locals alike. Every Thursday from 5-8 PM (summer time only).
We LOVE this market, held Thursday evenings in the summer. They serve beer, always have live music and great food, and some of the most talented artists and delicious food vendors sell here. Also, it's the only place to find Dixon melons in the valley; do yourself a favor and get one if you can!
