The Clearest Lake In Montana Is Almost Too Beautiful To Be Real
Flathead Lake is an enormous freshwater lake in Northwest Montana that also happens to be one of the clearest in the world. We’re lucky to have such a stunning lake in our state, especially since it’s one of the top vacation destinations for Montanans. If you’ve never seen it for yourself, perhaps these photos will convince you to visit.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Lake Missoula covered most of the region about 13,000 years ago.
It's also the largest lake west of the Mississippi.
Scientists estimate that before the melting of the glaciers, it was up to 500 feet higher.
There's even an annual cherry festival in Polson.
From water sports to fishing, boat tours and lakeside lounging, you'll find a little bit of everything at Flathead.
Have you ever visited Flathead Lake? There’s still a little time to add it to your summer bucket list!
