Floating on an Alpine Lake: A Perfect Adventure in the Flathead National Forest
There’s nothing quite like the experience of floating on a crystal-clear alpine lake after a rewarding hike through Montana’s breathtaking wilderness. Our Hike & Float tours take you to stunning high-mountain lakes in the Flathead National Forest, offering a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Imagine trekking through lush forests and alpine meadows, reaching a secluded lake, and then gently paddling across the glassy water in a pack raft—it’s a truly unforgettable way to experience Montana’s backcountry.
The Hike: A Journey to Montana’s Hidden Alpine Lakes
Unlike the busy trails of Glacier National Park, the Flathead National Forest offers secluded hiking routes that lead to pristine alpine lakes with fewer crowds and more solitude. We have a variety of guided hikes suited for different skill levels, from moderate treks through old-growth forests to challenging climbs that reward you with breathtaking views. Along the way, you’ll experience the beauty of wildflower-filled meadows, towering peaks, and possible wildlife sightings—all leading up to the main event: the lake.
The Float: Relaxation on a Pristine Alpine Lake
Once you reach the lake, it’s time to kick back and enjoy a peaceful paddle in a lightweight pack raft. These small, inflatable boats allow you to drift effortlessly across the water, taking in the mirror-like reflections of the mountains and the serene silence of the alpine wilderness. Whether you want to explore the lake’s shoreline, take a refreshing dip, or simply float and soak in the moment, it’s an incredible way to connect with nature.
Gourmet Lunch with a View
No adventure is complete without a great meal, and we’ve got you covered! Our Hike & Float tours include gourmet sandwiches from Jersey Boys Pizzeria, the perfect fuel for a day of exploration. Enjoy a delicious freshly made sandwich while gazing out over the tranquil waters—it’s the perfect way to recharge before heading back down the trail.
