This convenient store/gas station/casino has something for everyone! LOL It is only a minute away via car and has just about everything you could need. It is closer than Harvest Foods, but of course you will pay a premium for that convenience. You could always try your luck in the casino out back if you are in the mood!

This place has a prime piece of real estate right on Flathead Lake. The views from the deck are stunning! It is a great place to have one of their brews, but I would say the food is not that great.

We used this fishing charter company last summer and they were great. We recommend them. At the end of our fishing excursion, he called ahead to a restaurant and told them we were coming. We took our freshly caught fish there and they cooked it up for us. We ate it just after we caught it! So fresh and delicious.
