We may not have ocean beaches here in Montana, but we have something even better: the legendary Flathead Lake. The clarity of this massive lake’s water is world-renowned, a trait we attribute to its low nutrient levels (phosphorus and nitrogen), which leads to a lack of algae. Whatever the reason, the lake is amazing, and you can enjoy it to the fullest at Flathead Lake State Park.

It’s actually divided into smaller state parks, like Big Arm and Wayfarers. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks maintains 13 public access sites around the lake.
