With a population of approximately 5,000 residents, Polson is in Northwest Montana on the southern end of
Flathead Lake. The town is on the Flathead Indian Reservation, home to the
Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. It s also one of Montana s best small towns and a base camp for tasting and discovering this adventurous Northwest region.
As the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River in the lower 48, Flathead Lake is the primary backdrop for any Polson vacation. Several access points and state parks line this enormous water body that covers over 200 square miles. And Polson provides several outlets to enjoy its lakeside location.
