This time of year the park is closed to vehicular traffic but there is parking directly across the road and it is easy to walk in. The park itself is located about 4 miles (6.8 km) off of MT 35. The road, No./So. Finley Point Rd, meanders a bit but is easy to follow. The park is located on the southeast corner of Flathead Lake with stunning views of the lake, and the Mission Mountains to the west. This time of year with the lower water level of the lake I could walk out a bit on the rocks and ice. The park has both camper and tent campsites making it that much more desirable for longer stays. In addition to the camping, the park offers a full array of activities including canoeing, sailing, swimming, picnicking, fishing and boating with plenty of dock space. The beach is ideal for sunning and relaxing or just taking in the view. All this nestled in a 28 acre strip on the lake. A truly great outing!!
3. Travelers' Rest State Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 41 reviews
Travelers' Rest State Park marks the crossroads of natural and cultural history. The 65-acre site includes the only archaeologically verified campsite of the Lewis & Clark Expedition, a traditional meeting place of Native American tribes including the Bitterroot Salish, and riparian habitat that is home to hundreds of species of birds and mammals.

The walking trails take you along the creek and back to where Lewis & Clark made camp twice during their quest to seek a route to the Pacific for trading. They have weekly ranger talks and cater to children on the weekends, giving them interactive projects to make while there. Highly recommend not only for the history behind the Park but for the scenery while walking the dusty trails. There is a visitor's center staffed with a State Forest Ranger who holds a wealth of knowledge of the area. There is a picnic area near the creek with tables. Bears frequent this area as well as deer and horn rimed owls. There is a fee for out of state residents, free to those living in MT

We loved the entire area. We took about a two mile walk around the lakeside. It was very quiet with great vistas.

We were really impressed by how friendly the staff were as soon as we arrived at Placid Lake State Park. They were great with the check in and even helped us fill our camper with water. The park is very clean, well maintained and monitored. All facilities including the restrooms and shower were very clean. The price of firewood was reasonable and best value in the area. Even thou it is a short drive off the highway, the view and peacefulness is relaxing.
