The Bigfork area is the heart of Flathead!

Bigfork lies where the Swan River joins Flathead Lake in Northwest Montana, where eagle and osprey share skies with the peaks of the Swan Range in the Rocky Mountains. Here the air is so clear that the distant peaks look as sharp as the thousands of Christmas lights adorning Bigfork's Electric Avenue during the holidays. Like the central jewel in a crown of nature, Bigfork has the unique mixture of old Western legends and modern traditions making it both a joy to be a resident as well as welcoming to the visitor. The colors of the wilderness blend with those of the arts and artisans to make the portrait of Bigfork all that it is. Throughout all seasons of the year, Bigfork blends relaxation and recreation as rich as the colors of a tapestry that has been created by nature's hand.

Bigfork has the unique combination of untamed wilderness and extravagant amenities that so many of our guests appreciate. One can reach the ski slopes or Glacier National Park as easily as a whitewater raft trip or sunset cruise on the lake. Bigfork has been designated "one of the 100 best art towns in the West", and its August Festival of the Arts delights visitors and residents each summer. Regardless of the season, Bigfork offers an activity for everyone.
