Bigfork, Montana what is it that charms our hearts?

Bigfork, where Flathead Lake begins....


Bigfork is well known as the art center of the Flathead Valley and has numerous eclectic shops, gourmet restaurants, art galleries and a live theatre.


Bigfork is sheltered in a sparkling bay where the swift waters of the Swan River flow into Flathead Lake, bringing kayakers from around the world. 


Each Chirstmas season community “elves” decorate Bigfork in Christmas lights, fresh-cut greenery and bright red bows, the Bigfork Summer Playhouse, one of the finest repertory theatres, has some of the most talented actors in the Northwest. Since 1960 every summer the Bigfork Summer Playhouse company of actors has performed a different musical every night with fast-paced singing, dancing, and acting.  In August, hundreds of people attend the Bigfork Festival of the Arts which is a wonderful place to see numerous artists show their wares in booths lining the streets of Bigfork’s Grand and Electric Avenues.


Bigfork offers spectacular views of the Swan Mountains.  And  Bigfork’s close proximity to the Jewel Basin Hiking area, the Bob Marshal Wilderness, and Glacier National Park make it an outdoor enthusiasts playground.


Bigfork also boasts a 27-hole championship golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus, Jr. and Bill Hull. Eagle Bend Golf Course.  Golf Digest named Eagle Bend as the one of the top 50 golf courses in the United States.


Summer Evening Concerts are held in Everit L. Sliter Memorial Park (Everit L. Sliter plotted Bigfork back in 1901)  this park was dedicated in 1983 and is next to the one-lane bridge on Electric Avenue in Bigfork.
