Folks in the know will tell you that the best sunsets on Flathead Lake can be viewed from Wayfarers State Park. To be sure, the rocky cliffs along the shoreline offer beautiful vistas of the lake at any time of day.

Located just outside the charming town of Bigfork, this park provides public access for launching your boat and swimming in the refreshing water of Flathead Lake. Enjoy camping in the trees, picnicking on the grassy area overlooking the lake, or hiking through the mature forest where wildflowers abound from spring to late fall. The main campground offers 27 campsites. However, several walk-in tent sites are located next to the water for visitors arriving by boat. Other amenities at the park include a comfort station with coin-operated showers, and boat and trailer dump stations. Firewood and ice are also for sale. A group use shelter and playground are available in Harry Horn day use area.
