In addition to the two great national parks, there are many other places which 

 invite one to while away vacation hours. Along the shores of Flathead lake, the 

 largest fresh water lake in the country, numerous restful places are to be found. 

 Flathead lake is easily reached from Kalispell, on the Great Northern, or from 

 Ravalli, on the Northern Pacific. Swan lake, near by, is popular with summer 

 colonists. 



The famous Kootenai country, stretching through Lincoln county in the north- 

 western corner or the state, attracts many summer visitors, who find restful days 

 in the shadow of the giant pines and along the banks of the wonderfully beautiful 

 lakes and rivers. The Blackfoot valley, in northern Powell county, offers numerous 

 attractions, and is especially popular with Helena and Great Falls people, while 

 the lakes on the Missouri river near Helena, are being rapidly developed into summer 

 resorts. At Helena, also, is the famous Broadwater natorium, the largest enclosed 

 swimming pool in the world, which annually attracts visitors from all over the 

 country. 



These are hut a few of the better known places, which appeal to those on vacation 

 bent. There is scarcely a section of the western part of the state, however, in 

 which mountain streams and mountain scenery, are not to be found, and those who 

 want to get away from the beaten paths of summer tourist travel can easily do so 

 by dropping back a few miles, where they can be immersed in solitude.
