Flathead Lake

Reviewed By SgtMom2 - Fayetteville, United States

This was one of the prettiest places I have ever visited. The water is cold and amazingly clear. The views all around are gorgeous. There is a paved highway all around the lake with many places to stop and sightsee. We had a great afternoon flying a kite at a lakeside park.

Kerr Dam

Reviewed By kimmiek386 - Great Falls, United States

**Not as scenic as Niagara but the dam itself is bigger than Niagara** It’s massive and magnificent to see and imagine how it was built in the 1930s during the Depression. The hike down is steep, but easily walked for all ages. There is a sign warning visitors that bears & mountain lions MAY be seen but unlikely. Worth a visit if dams aren’t something you see regularly in your own neighborhood. Although it’s called Kerr dam you may see signs referring to it as something with a Native name - I didn’t quite catch that part. Depending on when u visit you may or may not see the dams open. Montana has a bit of a dry/fire season July/August.

Three Dog Down

Reviewed By TravelingCrones - Polson, United States

This company and its owner, Bob Ricketts, represents the finest in customer service. I located a very old customer store credit receipt, years old. Bob approved it for my new purchase. I always send visitors to see the remarkable inventory of neat stuff that Bob has. Sometimes, they get to hear his operatic voice in fine tune!

Flathead Lake Cheese

Out where the world is still wild, you'll find our bright yellow creamery by the bay where we create artisanal cheeses by hand in small batches. When the weather allows, we use solar thermal heat to pasteurize our locally collected milk. From our recycled Island shirts to our vat or the sun, we're all about making the best use of what's around us.

What a fun little experience! As others have said, the samples are passed through a service window which allows you to taste the cheese before purchase. The lady who served us was very friendly and made our stop the highlight retailer of our visit!
