Outdoor Entertainment

Whitefish, Montana

Downtown Whitefish is a short 10 minute drive from the community, with plenty of dining, shopping, and

amenities. This relaxed, friendly community near the Canadian border was created when the Great Northern

Railway was built through the area in 1904. The town was named for nearby Whitefish Lake. The extension

of the nation’s railway system in the wilds of the Big Sky Country opened Montana to development and

attracted nature-loving visitors. By the 1940s, the area’s first ski resort opened, drawing sports enthusiasts.

Whitefish retains the charm of a frontier small town, but now features sophisticated cultural attractions

and city services.

Annual events in the charming town include the Huckleberry Days Arts Festival, the Taste of Whitefish dining

festival, and the World Indoor Golf Championships. Whitefish is conveniently accessible to both the major

Canadian city of Calgary, Alberta, and nearby Glacier International Airport. Amtrak also serves the town; its

train depot is on the National Register of Historic Places and is a popular stop on the Empire Builder Line.

Skiers, photographers, fly fisherman, and nature lovers all enjoy the natural splendor and inviting charm of

this mountain community.
