Welcome
Stretching along the west side of the continental divide from
the US Canadian border south approximately 120 miles lies the 2.3
million acre Flathead National Forest. The landscape is built from
block fault mountain ranges sculpted by glaciers, and covered with
a rich thick forest. By providing abundant recreation and a wealth
of natural resources, the Flathead is a perfect place to relax and
enjoy your National Forests!
