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.
