Morrell Falls

Lake Alva is a no motorized water vehicle lake which makes it the quietest of the large lakes in the Seeley Lake chain.  The beautiful mountain views and calm waters make for a restful trip. 
Great swimming in the summer time out to a small island in the center with pebble shores and a bustling population of crawfish.
The water is clear and can be very cold.  At the shores you can see down into the bottom of the lake.  It is a great place to go star gazing in a canoe or kayak.  The water is very mellow, no wake waves and the small size of the lake prevents the large white caps that show up on Seeley itself.  It's a great place for beginning boaters to get in some risk free paddling.
The camp ground is well spaced with separation and plenty of amenities.
