Flathead Lake. Thousands of years ago the very glaciers that carved the knife ridges and sharp craggy peaks in the Park pushed their way down the Flathead Valley. And when they retreated, they left behind quite a gift. Flathead Lake is a sprawling blue jewel at the base of the Swan and Mission ranges.
