Bigfork Named One of America’s Best Summertime Lake Towns

We've been stuck inside the house for weeks thanks to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, but the weather's been getting nicer and nicer. And as Montana continues the process of gradually reopening, I'm sure a lot of people are hoping to get out and enjoy the sunshine over at Flathead Lake.

And when they do, they'll be doing it in one of America's best summertime lake towns, at least according to Thrillist, which published a list of 20 towns across the US that people flock to for good vibes and a dip in the lake.

Bigfork, right by Flathead Lake, made the cut, thanks to the great fly fishing, hiking, and the arts scene around town, including the Riverbend Concert Series, the Bigfork Festival of the Arts, and the Bigfork Summer Playhouse.

Of course, who knows what the state of things will be this summer - I doubt a concert series can really go on, or any kind of major event that draws a huge crowd. But hopefully people will still be able to chill by the lake and engage in their favorite outdoor activities or head to a restaurant with some nice outdoor seating on the water.

Will you be making your way out to Flathead Lake this summer? Do you think it'll be different this year than in previous years?
