About West Shore State Park

129 acres of shoreline along the western edge of Flathead Lake make up this park, protected as public recreation land since 1955. The site offers access to the lake for boating, fishing, and swimming, along with camping and hiking trails, and chances to observe wildlife along the water. It sits on the lake's west side, a few miles from Lakeside, giving visitors a stretch of shoreline to explore on foot or by water.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
