Whitefish is surrounded on three sides by picturesque mountain peaks that include the ski area Whitefish Mountain Resort just outside of town. Besides downhill skiing there is the Glacier Nordic Center with machine groomed trails for skate and classic cross-country skiing.  This alpine village offers summer activities including the most scenic gondola ride in the northwest, zip line tours, downhill biking, hiking, horseback riding, chuck wagon dinners, and an excellent array of dining in the village or up on the summit. The refurbished Great Northern Railroad Depot, the Whitefish Chamber of Commerce, along with the western-style covered walkways, are the focal point of the downtown area.

Nestled in the majestic Rocky Mountains on the shore of Whitefish Lake, this small, friendly Montana town offers the best in four-season recreation. Whitefish Lake is seven miles long and is partially within the city limits. Whitefish Lake has several parks on its shoreline including City Beach offering a sandy swimming beach and beautifully landscaped public park. The sandy beach provides picnic tables and barbecues under roofed pavilions, as well as sunbathing, docks, and a public boat launch.  Of course there is a wonderful golf course too at the Whitefish Lake Golf Club, offering spectacular views of the mountains and Whitefish Lake.
