You'll Love This Secluded Montana Beach With Miles And Miles Of Rocky Sand

Flathead Lake is not only the largest lake in Montana but it’s also the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi in the continental U.S. Needless to say, you’ll find miles of beautiful shoreline at Flathead’s popular state park, like Wayfarers State Park. But if you’d prefer a more private experience, you’ll have to head north.

Here's a little secret: You'll find the best stretches of sand in the fall and winter. During the colder seasons, the lake recedes and reveals a vast beach of soft, clean sand stretching for miles. But it's still a great place to visit in the summertime.

While most Montanans will be at the nearby Wayfarers State Park, you can enjoy a much more peaceful experience.
