Lake 5

The Flathead River is well known for its whitewater rafting, but you can also take a more casual kayak or canoe excursion on one of its nearby lakes. Lake Five, three miles west of Glacier’s gates, is a trendy swimming hole among locals as well as being used as a launch point by paddlers launching from Glacier National Park campgrounds or private houses nearby – giving it a more lively urban feel than other more remote lake areas in Montana.

Rent pedal boats on the lake throughout the summer (standard pedal boats seat four people, while Ducky and Swan pedal boats can hold 5). Kayaks may also be launched from the dock while it remains open; all rentals are on a first-come, first-serve basis.

James H. Ridenour of Indiana and Oni Maude settled near Lake Belton Stage Road during the late 19th century to establish their 160-acre homestead, which included a spring house to supply fresh water for their cabins and nearby residences.

Today, the resort continues to be operated by members of the Ridenour family and serves as an oasis for many who plan on only staying one night but end up staying more than a week or more. Furthermore, Lake Five serves as an entryway into the vast wilderness areas that surround it.
