Whitefish Lake State Park

Whitefish Lake State Park is a protected recreation area situated along Whitefish Lake in Montana's mountain region. The site features forested shoreline, trail access, and water-based facilities for outdoor recreation.

The area was established as a public recreation site in 1960 to ensure lakeside access and resource protection. Its creation reflected broader efforts to preserve natural spaces throughout the Flathead region.

Local environmental initiatives maintain water quality through mandatory watercraft inspections, reflecting Montana's commitment to natural resource protection.

Visitors will find campground facilities with tent and RV spaces along with marked pathways for outdoor activities. The best time to visit is from June through October when all amenities are fully available.

Water sports equipment is available on-site, making activities like kayaking possible directly on the lake. Interestingly, railroad routes run very near the park and create an unexpected contrast to the natural setting.
