Vacation would not be vacation with out lakes, rivers, streams, and waterfalls.
The Flathead – Glacier – Swan Valley area offers it all! Swan River’s Rest is situated almost right on the Swan River and close to Holland Lake Falls with many creeks and small lakes around.
It is only about 30-45 mins. from Seeley Lake, Swan Lake, Flathead Lake, Salmon Lake and many others. And Glacier National Park is only an hour and a half to the North!
There are many opportunities for boating, rafting, white water rafting, water skiing, fishing, canoeing, or just a lovely walk around the lake!
