2014 Map of Swan Lake

About this map

Swan Lake dominates the central valley of this Montana landscape, where the Swan River flows south amidst the towering peaks of the Swan Range. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, with Sixmile Mtn and Hall Peak defining the western ridges, while Con Kelley Mtn rises to the east within the Flathead National Forest. Transportation through this steep-walled corridor is primary along the Daryl Soltesz Memorial Hwy, which follows the lakeshore. A network of primitive routes and footpaths like the Bond Creek Trl and Six Mile Rd provide access to the higher elevations and remote alpine waters, including Trinkus Lake and Hall Lake. This mapping shows the modern balance of accessible recreation and preserved wilderness in Lake and Flathead Counties.
