As the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River in the lower 48, Flathead Lake is the primary backdrop for any Polson vacation. Several access points and state parks line this enormous water body that covers over 200 square miles. And Polson provides several outlets to enjoy its lakeside location.
