Swan Lake

Tucked in the picturesque Seeley-Swan Valley and located at the southern tip of its namesake Swan Lake is the village of Swan Lake. Once a hopping timber camp, Swan Lake is well-known for its incredible outdoor recreation activities. Year-round visitors use the town as a launching point for fishing area lakes and streams, hiking, birding and backcountry cross-country skiing it nearby mountains. Swan Lake is also a stop on the Glacier Country Recreation Trail, a pedestrian trail that connects Bigfork and Seeley Lake.
