North Shore Access
North Shore Access
North Shore WMA offers seasonal access (July 16 to February 28) to wildlife viewing and hunting opportunities along Flathead Lake's north shore, with foot traffic allowed on acquired lands and designated parking areas.
The site is closed March 1 to July 15 to protect nesting waterfowl and bald eagles, and pets must remain leashed except during hunting seasons.
Future development may include camping facilities and interpretive trails, though currently only dispersed recreation is available.
