When some people think about living on an island, they envision swaying palm trees, the taste of fruity drinks and the warm sun kissing their skin.

Of course, island life looks a little different when you're in Montana.

Flathead Lake boasts multiple islands including Melita Island where there is a Boy Scouts camp and Wild Horse Island, the largest island of the group.

Cromwell Island is privately-owned and the second largest island in Flathead Lake. It sits just west of Wild Horse Island.
