Polson Montana
Polson is
located on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Northwest Montana lies in a
natural amphitheater at the south end of Flathead Lake Montana. This charming
lakeside community is the trading center for one of Montana’s most fertile
farming areas. In a prime cherry growing region and home to numerous cherry
orchards, Polson celebrates with an annual Cherry Festival.
The broad, sweeping Mission Valley south of Polson is bordered by the rugged, snow-capped Mission Mountains. The Flathead River that flows from Polson features whitewater rafting and Kerr Dam. The National Bison Range at Moiese just south of Ronan Montana with its large herds of bison, elk, deer, antelope and barn sheep is nearby, as well as the Ninepipes and Pablo Wildlife Refuges for bird watchers.
Three museums, The Miracle of America and Polson-Flathead Historical Museum, and The People's Center in Pablo offer many displays and memorabilia. Polson also has several city parks located on the lake. Visitors are advised to keep their cameras ready for the area’s own “Flathead Monster,” sightings of which date back over a hundred years. Also, don’t miss the Polson Golf Course.
