Flathead Lake State Park

Actually Flathead Lake has 6 State Parks around the lake.  John got very, very lucky and reserved us a site in the West Shore Campground through the Fourth of July weekend.  And it’s a lovely site with a view through trees of the lake.

We have walked or hiked almost all the paths and trails in the park over the weekend.  The shoreline is pretty steep in most places but near the boat launch area people have found a way to be on the water.  Lots of kayaks and stand up paddle boards line the shore and in the campgrounds.  The weather has cleared, the winds are quiet and the temperature gets up to the low 70’s by mid afternoon.  It cools off into the 50’s at night so we are sleeping well!

We ventured out Thursday evening for a nice dinner at a bistro in Lakeside.  It is too easy for us to forget social distancing and face masks and the folks at the restaurant were not good about it either.  We took a chance and wish we hadn’t since we ended up sitting in the restaurant for almost 2 hours. We are resolved to only eat outside or carry out for the rest of the summer.
