"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."

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.
