Hotels in Lakeside

Flathead Lake beckons with crystal-clear waters where eagles soar overhead and trophy trout lurk below. Rent a kayak and paddle along the shoreline, watching for wildlife that seems unbothered by your presence. The Flathead Lake Alpine Coaster offers screaming descents with lake views that might distract from the speed. West Shore State Park provides perfect picnic spots where families spread blankets under ponderosa pines. Volunteer Park hosts summer concerts where locals arrive by boat, tying up at nearby docks. In winter, the lake sometimes freezes solid enough for impromptu hockey games. Glacier National Park lies just north, where hiking trails lead to waterfalls that appear like they've never been photographed before, despite evidence to the contrary.
