Flathead Lake’s North Shore encompasses 3,600 acres of public and private lands, including 7 miles of shoreline.
The North Shore was designated an Important Bird Area by Audubon in 2010.
More than 220 bird species have been observed using the North Shore.
Thousands of native cutthroat trout and bull trout come to the north shore to begin their trip up the river for spawning.
The north shore is also used by bears, reptiles, and other wildlife.
The North Shore and the Flathead River are one system. Flathead River to Lake Initiative partners are helping protect and restore the connections.
Conserving the North Shore for current and future generations to enjoy.
Flathead River to Lake Initiative - a collaborative effort to conserve and restore our Flathead River and Lake natural heritage – excellent water quality, outstanding scenic and recreation values, abundant fish and wildlife, and prime farm land.
