BIGFORK // Area Intro
Big sky, big lake, Bigfork: This little town is a big deal in northwest Montana, perfectly situated where the Swan River empties into beautiful Flathead Lake. The Flathead River runs just west of Bigfork proper, bookending the Bigfork community while the Swan Mountains stand guard above. Bigfork is the perfect base for all kinds of outdoor fun, from boating and hiking to golfing on the 27-hole championship course at Eagle Bend Golf Club or cross-country skiing the Jewel Basin trails when the snow flies.
In town, the streets of Bigfork are bursting with arts and culture, from world-class art galleries to fine dining and theater. Each year, the Bigfork Summer Playhouse puts on a series of outstanding professional musicals, anchoring the town’s vibrant summer nights. With a year-round population of just 4,600, this small corner of the Flathead Valley is packed with bigtime fun.
