Quite spot with nice trails

Maybe 20 minutes from whitefish, this area offers only a handful of rustic sites as well boat launch parking. First come first serve. Lovely trails nearby with lake access. My dogs and I enjoyed our stay. Highly suggested.

Constant Wonder

This lake is never a disappointment! Easy access roads, nice boat launch, and solid camping sites. If your looking for a nice days paddle or a weekend away Stillwater Lake, Stillwater River and the surrounding smaller lakes, Hole in the Wall and Finger Lake; have you covered. (The cliff jumping at Finger Lake is our favorite and just a short hike away)

Under perfect weather conditions you have a glassy surface that your boat will glide right through. In not so perfect conditions? There are banks galore in which you can hunker down and enjoy a beverage and snacks and wait for the rain to pass. No matter the season this lake is a constant joy!
