"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."
