Fodor's Expert Review Averill's Flathead Lake Lodge
150 Flathead Lodge Rd., Bigfork, Montana, 59911, USA
Since 1945 Averill's has been providing families a wholesome and active Western getaway. The beautiful green grounds are on the shore of the lake, where beach fires, canoeing, and sailing take place. The lodge, accommodations, and other buildings are all log-and-stone structures. Horseback rides set out both in the morning and evening, and you can learn to rope in the rodeo arena. Many activities such as rafting and guided fishing trips are available for an extra cost. It's BYOB at the bar. October through May the lodge is open for corporate retreats only.
