Top Active Leisure Sport in Montana

check the accessibility of the boat shuttle to get to the trailhead. it saves you a lot of hiking time—definitely worth it if you’re short on daylight.

I recommend wearing layers; the weather can change quickly up there. It was chilly in the morning and warm by noon, so I was glad I could adapt!

Bring extra snacks and plenty of water! You'll be burning energy, and trust me, the views are worth some extra calories.

Definitely explore the zip-lines! They’re a blast, and you get some awesome views. I recommend going in the afternoon when there are fewer families around.

If you’re eating on the mountain, pack snacks or a lunch. The food options are pricier than expected. We spent way too much on mediocre food!

Weather can change fast, so check forecasts before you go. I got caught in a storm and it wasn't fun trying to get back to my truck!

Try to visit around 8 AM when the trail is less crowded. We enjoyed a peaceful hike and got some amazing photos before the rush came in.

Do not forget your camera! The views of the lake and the surrounding mountains are breathtaking. I wish I had taken more pictures instead of just enjoying the scenery!

Keep an eye on the weather! I didn’t think I’d need my rain jacket in August, but it poured one day. I suggest checking the forecast before you go, so you can pack accordingly and save yourself from soggy socks!
