Living in Polson Montana,
Polson
is located on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Northwest Montana.
Polson lies in a natural amphitheater at the south end of Flathead Lake.
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.
Two museums, The Miracle of America and Polson-Flathead Historical
Museum, 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,” sitings of which
date back over a hundred years. Also, don’t miss the Polson Golf Course.
Polson Montana become an attraction in the summer time when tempatures
range from 80 to 95 degrees. All of Northwest Montana comes alive during
the spring. In July Polson plays host to the Flathead Lake Hoopfest and
then in August hosts the largest Car Show in the Pacific Northwest. The
Mission Valley Cruisers boast 500 hotrods, custom and classic that line
the streets of Polson Montana
