Kalispell Parks & Gardens
Stretching along the west side of the continental divide from the US Canadian border south approximately 120 miles lies the 2.3 million acre Flathead National Forest. Recreational activities include downhill skiing, camping and fishing.
Overlooking the magnificent Flathead Valley, this day-use-only park provides residents and visitors with information about the Valley’s cultural and natural history with a visitor center providing nature and interpretive programs. Activities within the park include picnicking, hiking and horseback riding.
Glacially carved rock outcrops rise from Flathead Lake to overlooks with spectacular views of the lakeshore and the Swan and Mission Mountains. Considered the most private park on Flathead Lake, this site is distinguished by a mature fir, pine, and larch forest. The beach is rocky but visitors can still swim, boat, and camp here.
With frontage on the north shore of Middle Thompson Lake, Logan is heavily forested with western larch, Douglas-fir, and ponderosa pine. This park nestles on 17 acres adjacent to 3,000 acres of recreation opportunities within the Thompson Chain of Lakes, connecting and containing Upper, Middle and Lower Thompson lakes. Swimming, boating, camping, water-skiing, and fishing are popular activities within the park.
