Polson, MT is located on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Northwest Montana.  Polson lies in a natural amphitheater at the south end of Flathead Lake. This charming lakeside community is the trading center for one of Montana’s most fertile farming areas. In a prime cherry growing region and home to numerous cherry orchards, Polson celebrates with an annual Cherry Festival.

The broad, sweeping Mission Valley south of Polson is bordered by the rugged, snow-capped Mission Mountains. The Flathead River flows from Polson, featuring whitewater rafting and the Kerr Dam. The National Bison Range at Moiese just south of Ronan, Montana with its large herds of bison, elk, deer, antelope and barn sheep is nearby, as well as the Ninepipes and Pablo Wildlife Refuges for bird watchers. Three museums, The Miracle of America Museum and Polson-Flathead Historical Museum, offer many displays and memorabilia along with the People's Center in nearby Pablo where you can learn more about the Salish, Kootenai, and Pend d'Oreille tribal nations. Polson also has several city parks located on the lake. Visitors are advised to keep their cameras ready for the area’s own “Flathead Monster,” sightings of which date back over a hundred years. Also, don’t miss the Polson Country Club.

Polson, Montana becomes an attraction in the summertime when temperatures range from 80 to 95 degrees. All of Northwest Montana comes alive during the spring. In July Polson plays host to the Flathead Lake Hoopfest and then in August hosts the largest car show in the Pacific Northwest. The Mission Valley Cruisers boast 500 hot rods, custom and classic that line the streets of Polson, Montana.  Visit the Polson Chamber of Commerce for more information about what is happening in Polson.
