Folks in the know will tell you that the best sunsets on Flathead Lake can be viewed from Wayfarers State Park. To be sure, the rocky cliffs along the shoreline offer beautiful vistas of the lake at any time of day. Located just outside the charming town of Bigfork, this park provides public access for launching your boat and swimming in the refreshing water of Flathead Lake. Enjoy camping in the trees, picnicking on the grassy area overlooking the lake, or hiking through the mature forest where wildflowers abound from spring to late fall. Tenting sites are located next to the water for visitors arriving by watercraft on the Flathead Lake Marine Trail. Other amenities at the park include comfort stations with coin-operated showers, boat and trailer dump stations, and firewood and ice for sale. A group use shelter and playground are available in the adjacent Harry Horn Park. |
