West Shore State Park
West Shore State Park is located just outside of Lakeside, MT and is open year-round!
There, you will find glacially-carved rock outcrops within the park where you’ll have incredible views of Flathead Lake and the Mission and Swan Mountains Ranges.
Looking to hike?
All of the hiking trails at the park are single-track dirt trails that range from steep and laborious to gradual, contoured and easy-going. Pets are welcome on a leash.
West Shore has a dock so long that boats can use it year-round (including winter!) when the lake is low. Experience the tranquil atmosphere while camping in a forest of fir, pine and larch above Flathead Lake.
There are 31 campsites available with seven being tent only. If you plan to bring your RV or trailer, make sure it’s no more than 40 feet.
Take in the unique topography of West Shore State Park on 4 miles of hiking trails along the rocky shoreline.
Bring your joint state/tribal fishing license and take your shot at catching dinner from the lake!
Spend a day on the lake and rent a kayak or canoe from Sea Me Paddle in Lakeside or at the Park during the summer.
Enjoy the beach and then cool off with a dip in chilly Flathead Lake.
Check out the local wildlife, including great birdwatching!
