Wayfarers State Park, Montana

When you hear the word wayfarer, what comes to mind? A wanderer traveling by foot? Or Ray-Ban’s iconic sunglasses, passed down from Baby Boomers to Millenials? Lucky for you, all wayfarers are welcome at this state park, where cliffside views of Flathead Lake offer some of the best sunsets in the state. It’s the perfect chance to slip your sunglasses off your nose and enjoy an easy saunter down to the water’s edge. Wander the rocky shoreline cliffs with your camera for some out-of-this-world lake shots, or explore the area’s abundant array of wildflowers. Lakeside campsites make this park ideal for enjoying boating, fishing, and swimming, but even a day trip and picnic will suffice if you’re only looking for a few hours of spectacular views. Wayfarers is an unexpected feast for the senses, and this little piece of lakeside beauty will be a welcomed surprise to any weary hiker or biker who stops for the night.
