Bigfork, Montana

Bigfork is Montana's quintessential mountain resort village. Resting on the northeast shore of the 30-mile-long Flathead Lake, Bigfork offers visitors and residents alike with year-round recreational activities, community events, and beautiful scenery.

Nearly 2,900 feet above sea level, the beautiful village of Bigfork is situated along a sparkling blue bay where the wild, white waters of the Swan River run into the Flathead Lake. For its location, Bigfork and The Flathead Valley have a relatively mild climate and can best be described as an area of climatic transition between coastal and continental.
