The Neighborhood:
Located on the north shore of Flathead Lake, Somers is a gateway to recreation on and around the lake, including sailing, boating, waterskiing, swimming, fishing, picnicking, and camping. In the mountains nearby, downhill skiing at Blacktail Mountain Ski Area is affordable and family-friendly, while cross-country skiing on Blacktail Mountain offers spectacular views of Flathead Lake and Valley and four mountain ranges. Glacier National Park is about an hour away by car and makes for a fantastic day trip.
We recommend a short drive to Somers Beach State Park, which has a good-sized sandy beach and shallow water for kids to enjoy. You’ll have impressive views of the Swan Mountains here. There’s also an excellent microbrewery, Tamarack Brewing Company, just down the road!

Getting Around:
Montana is a big state, with thousands of miles of open roads – and there’s no better way to explore it than traveling by road. Car rental services are widely available to get you from the airport to the state’s top attractions and everywhere in between. US-93 is the main road in our immediate vicinity. You can drive all the way around the lake and explore several charming towns along the way.
Traveling between Chicago and Portland/Seattle, the Empire Builder train serves Amtrak stations along Montana's Highline. There are multiple stops near Glacier National Park and several small towns.
