There were picnic tables and a beautiful lake with some mountains in the background. Just overall pristine and beautiful. The water looked so clear and inviting, I went in for a swim. Being mid-September, it was pretty cold, but I had a refreshing swim on the beach. No lifeguards or anyone telling you where you can and can't swim which is my kinda open water swimming. Loved this city beach -- highly recommended!

On the other end during the winter, it's turned into an ice skating rink. It's lovely in the spring and summer. It's kept really well manicured. There is a path that winds throughout the park so you can walk your dogs. Bathrooms are older but when you gotta go, you gotta go! Attached is a water park for kiddos in the summer and a skate park. The skate park is free, the water park charges a fee for entrance. Sometimes there are shady characters around so I wouldn't recommend just dropping your kids off.....

Great pricing for an hour of throwing and tons of boards and games to play to better your axe throwing! Also a lovely staff member (didn't quite catch his name!) gave some great tips on how to throw one arm, two arms, and the cool stars which I'd never thrown before!

We went to the marina for the 14th annual Woody boat show. There were 50 wooden boats on display in…read morethe marina some as old as the 1920's, all restored and in excellent working condition. It was so cool to see. Some of the owners were there to answer questions and just talk about their boats. But it was a rainy day so most owners were not standing in the rain. We did talk to one owner who said his dad bought his boat to use as a fishing boat in the 1950's. The son, current owner has refinished it and uses it as a pleasure boat today. Impressive display of these old crafts. You had to go through the lodge to get to the marina and it was also impressive. There was plenty of parking and they were shuttling folks on golf carts from the parking lots and on street parking areas. Nice event, cool lodge.

Our whole family felt safe, engaged, and completely swept up in the adventure. The scenery was spectacular, the camaraderie on the raft was a blast, and Oscar made every stretch of the river feel memorable. The highlight of the day was seeing a baby black bear, which felt like something out of a movie and instantly became a family story we'll be telling for years. Oscar clearly knows the river, loves what he does, and has a gift for making people feel both comfortable and excited. We could not have asked for a better guide. Glorious day, incredible adventure, and huge thanks to Oscar for making it so special.

Views views views!…read more Great change of pace after days of hiking. I rented a 1 seater kayak from glacier outfitters. It may look like a far walk but it isn't! Totally doable. The staff was very nice to explain everything to me. They showed me the lake map and where to go and not go, etc. Instructions were very clear. I rented 2 hours (they have you 15 mins for the round trip walk). The walk from the rental to the lake I thought was a bit of a walk but it was not bad to haul the kayak there, they are on wheels so it is not bad. You leave the wheels near the trees. Returning the kayak was fairly easy as well. There are lockers available that you can put your stuff if you don't want to take it with you. The minimum number of hours is 2 hours and it was 40 something. Overall it was a good experience! Everything was great. Would recommend and use service again.

We had people waiting for our parking spot when we returned to the car. I'm not sure where people would park when it gets very busy. Perhaps there is another parking lot I didn't see. When you walk up to G.O. you sign waivers, pay the fee and are gathered in an area for instructions. The man who provided the instructions was very informative. Advised us of areas in Flathead Lake to avoid including a rough water area and a few bald eagle's nests as they recently laid eggs. After instructions, you are provided with the kayak, paddle, life jacket and a cart to roll the kayak down to the lake. Now, I'm pretty strong but the kayaks are heavy. I did think to myself, how would someone with less strength get this kayak down to the lake? Something to ask about if you are renting as it is several yards to walk with a heavy kayak. The carts were easy to remove and stash while we spent the day in the lake. When you finish kayaking, you simply load the kayak back on the cart and roll it back to G.O., drop off gear and you are done. We had a great experience with Glacier Outfitters and would use them again.
