Flathead Lake, MT is one of the 300 largest natural lakes in the world and the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River and as such is attracting real estate investors, vacation home buyers and waterfront enthusiasts to its shoreline. According to studies done at the Flathead Lake Biological Station in Yellow Bay (located just south of Bigfork, MT), the water in Flathead Lake is among the cleanest in the world - there is definitely a local effort to keep it that way. The lake, located in NW Montana and about 8 miles south of Kalispell, is about 191 square miles in surface area with an average depth of 164 feet and a maximum depth of 370 feet. The varied shoreline meanders over 160 miles around all of the waterfront property with the towns of Bigfork, Lakeside, Somers, Rollins, Elmo, Big Arm and Polson on its shores. Wild Horse Island in Big Arm Bay near Rollins is managed by Montana Dept. of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, and is open for day use to enjoy the 2,100 acres of land. A few lucky people have private ownership of lake property on Wildhorse Island. Hikers will see bighorn sheep and wild horses. There are many public access points on Flathead Lake, with most at one of the beautiful Montana State Parks dotting the shore line. (For a wonderful synopsis of the parks around Flathead Lake, read Water,Water Everywhere.) The real estate surrounding Flathead Lake would be considered mostly developed with lake homes, high end custom lakefront residences, homestead cabins, condominiums with few unimproved land or property sites available. The real estate market has reflected in the inventory over the years with "hot years" showing only a handful of homes for sale and sometimes slow sales years with over a 100 residences for sale. With the surrounding population being relatively small, boat traffic would still be considered uncrowded.Somers
