A popular ice-skating lake during the winter.

There are many lakes in the area, but Swan Lake is one of the best. There is a small fee to get in to the public access, but it is worth the money. Nice public beach area, picnic tables available and serene views.
5. Swan River Nature Trail

Lovely easy walk on a previous old gravel road. It is flat and shady so comfortable on a hot day. There are great vistas along the way of Swan River as you are about 30-40 feet up on a hill along the river. We saw women with strollers, families, dogs on leashes, couples and three people on bikes. It is 2 miles in and out. There is a bathroom halfway and three picnic tables along the way. The only caution would be: keep a close watch on any little children running loose as it would be easy for a child to tumble over the edge down a rocky cliff on the river side. There are no guardrails. You can access the trail from above The Bigfork Inn in the City of Bigfork and Park there or you can access it along the bridge over Swan River where kayakers frequently “ take out” - parking available either end.
