Hidden Lake

A superb fishing lake where catching 20-inch fish is common.

This is a very crowded hike but the views and wildlife make this trail worth it. Most of the hike is uphill on boardwalks and the views, streams, snow, mountain goats, bighorn sheep and occasionally a grizzly make this hike really cool.

Glacier Anglers

Montana is legendary for its fly fishing. Experience it for yourself in the waters that surround Glacier National Park. We offer daily and multi-day guided trips on the beautiful North and Middle Forks of the Flathead River, and multi-day trips into the Great Bear Wilderness to fish the acclaimed Upper Middle Fork. This is prime habitat for eager Westslope cutthroat trout and rainbow trout that you catch and release. Bring your own gear or let us supply everything you need. A Montana fishing license is required for all fishing trips with the exception of private pond fishing.

Glacier National Park

Reviewed By GaryLiew168

Spent 4 days exploring and not nearly enough. From relaxing at the lake,canoeing, kayaking, driving the Going to the Sun Road and enjoying the magnificent views, hiking, rapid river rafting, and fishing. There is plenty to do for all ages. Surrounding town has plenty to offer too. Too bad 1/4 of the park is closed due to COVID but it was still a fun trip for us. We stayed in town, Kalispell, and drive in everyday. It was only a 30-40 minute drive with plenty of scenic views.
