A superb fishing lake where catching 20-inch fish is common.

This is a very crowded hike but the views and wildlife make this trail worth it. Most of the hike is uphill on boardwalks and the views, streams, snow, mountain goats, bighorn sheep and occasionally a grizzly make this hike really cool.

We had a wonderful 5-6 miles walk through the woods and field, lunching at an overlook over Missoula. The drive to the Sawmill Gulch Trailhead was very easy.

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.

I lived in Missoula from August 1997-August 2000. I still have lots of friends who live there. One of my FAVORITE things to do in the summer, was go to the Farmer's Market! Tons of fresh fruits and vegetables to choose from, flowers, baked goods, artists, jewelers, and more, more, more! I can virtually guarantee you'll enjoy yourself! :)

Stunning views and a suspension bridge. What more could you ask for? Highly recommend. But ... not an easy hike. About a quarter of a mile from the parking lot ... over rocks, boulders, and tree roots. Plus a covered railroad crossing that has 3.5 flights of stairs. Plus a steep drop to the river. Remember ... it is all uphill on the way back. But ... highly recommended.

Spent 4 days exploring and not nearly enough. From relaxing at the lake,canoeing, kayaking, driving the Going to the Sun Road and enjoying the magnificent views, hiking, rapid river rafting, and fishing. There is plenty to do for all ages. Surrounding town has plenty to offer too. Too bad 1/4 of the park is closed due to COVID but it was still a fun trip for us. We stayed in town, Kalispell, and drive in everyday. It was only a 30-40 minute drive with plenty of scenic views.
8. Fort Missoula Museum
Overall Ratings

Located at one of Montana's first military posts, this museum houses rotating exhibits and devotes an entire wing to the 25th Infantry Bicycle Corps. A recreated Western town of the late 1800s takes visitors back in time to the days of carriage houses and homestead cabins.

I grew up in Missoula and When I visit I always seem to want to go visit the Museum. From stories about Ghostly things seen on the grounds to just Montana History itself. Can't get enough of the place and theirs a lot to see if your a history buff.

A scenic hiking area which offers berrypicking.
Reviewed By CATTSAR - Provincetown, United States
This is one of my favorite all seasons playgrounds. On this particular visit it was the setting of a winter adventure. It was a perfect day to be out on the snow cat on trails in the back country. Surrounded by tall pines and towering cliff it is Montana at its finest. We finished the rides with a trip to Tally Lake, an amazing gem in the western part of the forest. Tally Lake has the distinction of being the deepest lake in Montana registering at about 500 feet. Of the many other activities available throughout the year~ hiking, boating camping and swimming are just to name a few.

This scenic university campus spans 200 acres at the base of a mountain and borders the Clark Fork River. Founded in 1893, Montana's leading liberal arts institution enrolls 13,000 students.
Reviewed By crutt13 - Pottstown, United States
My daughter and I decided to top a strip through campus and climb Mount M. The university is nestled at the bottom of Mount M and has great 360 views of the mountains. This campus was beautiful. There are beautiful, mature trees, nice sculptures and artwork and well maintained buildings with historical markers throughout campus. To top it off there are great views from the top of Mount M. It's 406 feet of steep switchbacks, but the view is worth it. If in Missoula you need to type the campus.
