About Whitefish Lake State Park

This 10-acre park sits beside Whitefish Lake in northwest Montana, a short drive from Whitefish Mountain ski resort and the local hiking and biking trail network. Visitors come for boating, swimming, fishing, and water-skiing, since the lake is rarely windy. The campground has 25 sites for tent and RV camping, plus a hike-in and bike-in site for cyclists on the Great Divide route. Rental equipment such as paddle boards, kayaks, and pedal boats is available through a concessionaire. Trains pass near the campground, and RV length is limited to 40 feet.
