ホワイトフィッシュレンジのおすすめツーリングルート

Whitefish blends small-town charm with big-mountain adventure. Perched on the shore of Whitefish Lake and near the entrance of Glacier National Park, this year-round destination is built around a love for the outdoors, winter brings skiing and snowboarding, summer brings hiking, biking, scenic lift rides, zip lines, and watersports. Downtown is packed with locally owned restaurants, cozy cafés, breweries, and shops, with plenty lodging and live music as well.

Despite this lake's glacier-fed nature, the area gets warm enough for there to be a designated swimming area at this little sandy beach. There's also a shade area, gazebos, picnic tables and docks.

This area has a rewarding view over Skyles Lake. From this angle, the lake looks like the shape of a heart. The lake has lots of types of fish, like largemouth bass, northern pike, and yellow perch.

As you make your way along the road you will see Lake McDonald. The park's largest lake at nearly 500 feet deep and ten miles long. The towering peaks surrounding the lake tell tales of glaciers sculpting even the most resilient rock. These glaciers not only formed the expansive "u-shaped" valley where Lake McDonald resides but also carved smaller hanging valleys, creating waterfalls accessible via numerous hiking trails.

The visitor center has park maps, ranger programs, a gift shop, restrooms, and exhibits. From here you can take the bike path to the campground, into town, or south on a straight shot to West Glacier.

A swimmable, fishable outcrop on Whitefish Lake. A good turn around spot for cyclists heading back along the lake into the town of Whitefish.

Along the paved East Lakeshore Drive, a nice area to enter Whitefish Lake. Snow covered in the winter but bike-able in the summer.

McDonald Falls, renowned for their natural beauty, stand out as the most accessible waterfalls within Glacier National Park. Observe the mesmerizing sight of creek waters cascading over rugged rocks and flowing downstream. These falls are conveniently visible from the roadside.
