The last time we were there we all got swimmers itch. I do not know if the lake still has this issue but around the park and on the north end of the lake it seems to be more prevalent is my understanding. But the Lake is always pretty not the best lake around to swim in though.

This is one of the most beautiful lakes anywhere. A day spent on the lake will be remembered for a very long time. Many activities to choose from. Boat rental, fishing, swimming or just admiring the scenery.

I remember it as a tranquil place south of Kalispell with a fantastic lakeshore and beautiful parks. Actually, the parks are all part of the Flathead Lake State Park.

Being a local that lives on the lake, I've had the oppurtunity to see the lake in it's beautiful summer prime, as well as when the sky goes grey and the edges freeze over. Flathead Lake is a beautiful place to visit, whether it's a scenice drive around it (roughly 2 hrs to make complete loop), a long day of... More

We visited the park for a day of scuba diving. There is a nice picnic and beach area close to parking which made it easy for our shore dive entry. It's a beautiful place for a picnic and dip in the lake.

Views and scenery are great, but not much of a typical beach area. Mostly small coves and some grassy seating, but not a wide, accessible area near the water.
