We had nothing but bathing suits and we loved it here! No Gators, sharks or snakes, no seaweed or yucky stuff in the water. There are picnic tables, etc. The entry fee is $8 per car in the state park zones. It's totally worth it.

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.

There's also plenty of additional nearby parking for the coffeeshop, stores, restaurants and other venues that border this park.

I'm watching my neighbors shit and piss in the woods multiple times WITHOUT digging a hole. What in the $&!? Is wrong either way the state parks/rangers YES YOU RANGERS you're charging full price and no one even has anywhere to go take a shit or a piss, there's no honey pots out or anything. What the fuck? If I hadn't paid before, I knew the bathrooms and showers were closed. I would never have stayed here. Highly highly highly recommend the state park, plus it's dirty, my campsite is full of trash and there's huge rocks lane everywhere including the fire pit

Just an absolutely breathtaking national park - need I say more?…read more We did the Grinnell trail - easily one of the most gorgeous hikes I have done.

There was something incredible around every corner: Wildlife: We were lucky enough to see grizzly bears, black bears, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, birds, and so much more. Seeing these animals in their natural habitat was truly special. Glaciers & mountain views: Ancient glaciers surrounded by towering peaks, dramatic landscapes, and endless mountain views it honestly felt unreal. Turquoise lakes: The crystal-clear, turquoise waters looked almost too perfect to be real. Every lake felt like a postcard. Boat rides: A peaceful way to take in the beauty of the park, surrounded by glacier-fed waters and stunning mountain scenery. Hiking: Every trail we explored was worth it! Avalanche Lake, Hidden Lake, Running Eagle Falls, and more each one offered something completely different and beautiful. Wildflowers: Colorful wildflowers and bear grass were everywhere, adding even more beauty to an already incredible landscape. Huckleberry ice cream: And of course, you can't visit Glacier without trying huckleberry ice cream! Such a fun and delicious Glacier tradition. From the wildlife and glaciers to the turquoise lakes, scenic drives, hikes, and peaceful boat rides, Glacier National Park truly has it all. We left with so many beautiful memories and a camera roll full of pictures we'll be looking at for a long time. Absolutely unforgettable and 100% worth the trip!

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.
