The Most Remote Lake In Montana Is Also The Most Peaceful
To say Montana has a lot of lakes would be a bit of an understatement, as there are at least 3,223 named lakes and reservoirs here (and probably many more we aren’t aware of). So, while it’s impossible to truly know which of our lakes is the most remote, Kintla Lake is certainly the most remote one we’re aware of. After all, the adjacent campground is Montana’s most remote frontcountry campground, and only the most experienced outdoor adventurers should attempt to explore it.
That being said, if you do make it out to this lake, you’ll fall in love right away. This is a part of the state that remains quiet, peaceful, and largely unspoiled… and that’s just the way we like it.
Kintla Lake is located in the uppermost northwest section of Glacier National Park, which is known as the North Fork.
Kintla Lake Campground sits right on the lake, and since it's so remote, it's rarely full. Just be prepared to bring everything you'll need if you plan to camp, as amenities are extremely limited.
If you canoe or kayak, you'll absolutely love this lake—it's a paddler's paradise.
There's something about being far from civilization that makes you appreciate this natural beauty even more. You'll be happy for the forced digital detox.
Kintla Lake is surrounded by towering mountains, giving it an even more secluded appearance.
