Montana doesn't have many public pools to enjoy and tends to get crowded with kids.
What if you wanted to avoid kids but have a nice cool-off place? We might have a place you will love.
Montana has several fantastic rivers and picturesque lakes to cool off in the summer.
Where would be the best place to swim in Montana? There is one place that tops everywhere else.
There is a place in Northwest Montana that has the largest freshwater lake West of the Mississippi River and is one of the cleanest places to swim in America.
That place is Flathead Lake.
Flathead Lake is over 30 miles long and almost 15 miles wide, with several islands to check out.
Cheapism picked Flathead Lake due to all of these factors.
I was fortunate enough to grow up on this lake and enjoy it throughout my youth and adulthood. This spot was the correct pick.
There are several incredible state and local parks to enjoy a swim. There are several vehicle turnouts with public beach access to avoid the crowds.
If you want to experience the hype, head to Flathead Lake this summer.
Maybe it won't be snowing by July.
