Flathead Lake is considered the largest freshwater lake west of the
Mississippi within the boundaries of the continental United States. The Lake
contains cover 200 square miles of water and 185 miles of shoreline. Studies at
the Flathead Biological Station show that water quality in Flathead Lake is
among the best in the world. Its major tributaries are the Flathead and Swan
Rivers. Numerous small streams flow directly into the lake at its shoreline,
particularly on the wetter East Shore. Kerr Dam is located at the outlet of
Flathead Lake in Polson. Regulations of outflow by KERR Dam maintain the lake
level between 2,883 and 2,893 feet above sea level.
The southern half of Flathead Lake lies within the boundary of the Confederated
Salish and Kootenai Tribes Flathead Reservation which was created in 1855 by the
Hellgate Treaty. The unique relationship between the United States and the
Flathead Nation insists that all non-tribal member recreationists must purchase
a tribal recreation permit.
