Flathead Lake Interpretive Trail No. 77 just minutes from Mountain Lake Lodge
Flathead Lake Interpretive Trail No. 77
A great hike!!
Directions to the Trail
Turn Right onto Montana Highway 35 from the Mountain Lake Lodge in Woods Bay. Follow Montana Highway 35 for about three miles. Look for the half circle turnoff on the Flathead Lake side of the Highway 35.Keep an eye out for the Beardance Trail and Flathead Lake Trail sign just before the turnoff. The main trailhead marker is at the northern parking area.
PLACES: "Flathead Lake Interpretive Trail"
Flathead Beacon Article
by Lido Vizzutti, 8-15-10
"Pick up a trail guide under the “Flathead Lake Interpretive Trail No. 77” sign.
The numbered stations along the trail correspond to the numbers in the guide and discuss everything from fire – causing the “Cat Face” burn at the base of a tree – and mistletoe and insects to the history of the lake formation and the first people to inhabit the area.
The hike is not the easiest but not altogether strenuous. It starts out with a quick descent toward the lake. Remember, what you hike down, you must hike up.
Once at the bottom, a series of steep steps take you to the edge of the lake you can sit on the bench and look out over the vista.
Continuing to hike, you’ll cross a footbridge over Crane Creek and the climb back up begins."

Bigfork's Annual "FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS" is this weekend August 7th & 8th, 2010
Be sure to attend
the 32nd Bigfork Festival of the Arts!!!
Saturday, August 7th, 2010 10 am - 5 pm
Sunday, August 8th, 2010 10 am - 5 pm
Downtown Bigfork hosts Artisans and Musicians Over 160 arts and craft booths, food, entertainment, children's activities.
phone: 406-837-5888
http://www.bigforkfestivalofthearts.com/
It was May of 1978 when the idea of a Bigfork Festival of the Arts was first proposed.
As so often happens in Bigfork, it started with a conversation on Electric Ave. between members of the community.
In this case, George and Elna Darrow, Jim Manley, Gerald and Sally Askevold, Don Thomson, David Shaner and Jeff Wilson were discussing how nice it would be to have a gathering of some kind during the summer season. From that original group came the energy to turn the idea into a reality.
It was decided by this group that an arts festival would be a great event for Bigfork and that the first weekend in August would be a good time to hold such an event.
Over the years hundreds of dedicated volunteers have continued to expand and enhance the festival, making it an established summer tradition for people from all over Montana and the Pacific Northwest.
