About Les Mason State Park

Les Mason State Park is a day-use park on the east side of Whitefish Lake, a short drive north of Whitefish in northwest Montana. Its shoreline is mainly sand and gravel, which suits wading, swimming, and launching paddle craft. Shaded picnic tables sit close to the water. Visitors can also go bird watching, fish from the lake, or paddleboard. Some amenities, such as boat rental, operate only seasonally, so check with the park before you go.
