We had nothing but bathing suits and we loved it here! No Gators, sharks or snakes, no seaweed or yucky stuff in the water.

Then I read about it being the largest natural freshwater lake by surface area west of Mississippi. About 30 miles southwest of Glacier National Park 2 highways run along the west side and the east respectively .. U.S. Route 93 west side, and on the east, is Route 35. The water is so clean and clear .. though we stopped for a little while .. I think one could plan a day's stop for the water activities or to just relax and enjoy the lake view .. probably go to the town and get some fresh harvest. We stopped at Sacajawea park where there were benches and all .. had our lunch .. walked a bit to finish with ice cream :) .. Once again .. the lake is huge.

For the best experience, definitely get there early and allow plenty of extra time for activities if you're staying outside the park, as traffic can become heavy, especially along Going-to-the-Sun Road. If you're new to the park, I also recommend booking one of the Red Bus Tours. It was a great way to experience the park without the stress of driving or parking, and the guide was very knowledgeable. The Apgar Visitor Center staff were also very helpful and gave great recommendations and information for navigating the park. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience and somewhere I would absolutely visit again.

Yeah... I repeated that for a while dragging myself up one of Glacier's long, soul-crushingly gorgeous hikes. The views? Unreal. The vibe? Humbling. The legs? Suffering. This park makes you feel small in the best possible way, like the universe is laughing with you, not at you. Sadly, no bear sightings (which honestly feels like Glacier's version of a refund). But I did snag a sweater at the visitor center, staff were so kind I half expected them to adopt me. And let's be real: you'll probably run into a crew of hot Canadians wandering over the border like it's no big deal. Glacier has everything, cosmic philosophy, scenery that'll fry your brain circuits, kind staff, and bonus eye candy from the north. 11/10, would string-theory again.

There isn't much of a beach, unlike other places on the lake, but great to take a boat from. Nearby islands and Polson close by too. Montana state license plate gets you in free for day use. Overnight is $24/night and they are often full. Best bet is to reserve online. Campground will be undergoing remodeling soon, which will be nice. The best option is tent camping in my opinion, because the RV sites are much too close together. The bathrooms have a serious smell problem. Great for families and long term or short term camping.
