West Shore State Park is a Montana state park on the western shore of Flathead Lake, about five miles south of Lakeside. Covering 129 acres, it provides public access to outdoor recreation along one of the largest lakes in the western United States. Boating, fishing, swimming, and camping are central activities there, while hiking and wildlife viewing offer quieter ways to experience the lakeside setting. The park's significance lies in its role as a simple, accessible base for enjoying Flathead Lake.
