Real Estate in the Flathead Lake, MT Area
Famous for its size, its mountain-ringed setting and the purity of its waters, Flathead Lake, Montana is a body of water like no other. Home to around 25 native and nonnative fish species, it is an angler’s paradise year-round and some of the more common ones you’ll find are lake trout, mountain whitefish, lake whitefish, yellow perch, and westslope cutthroat trout.
Surrounded by national forestland, the lake has a few communities along its shore and it also has several islands. The largest is Wild Horse Island, which is just off Big Arm Bay and encompasses 2,100 acres. A wildlife refuge – officially it is the Wild Horse Island State Park – it is still populated by a few wild horses as well as Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, mule deer, and several bird species, from songbirds to bald eagles.
Because of the lake’s size, irregular shoreline, and numerous bays, real estate in the Flathead Lake, Montana area is quite varied. You will find waterfront properties within the communities that are adjacent to it, which include Lakeside, Bigfork, Rollins and Somers, as well as in areas that also abut public land.
