Wild Horse Island / Flathead Lake

Wild Horse Island / Flathead Lake SP https://fwp.mt.gov/stateparks/wild-horse-island/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Horse_Island Wild Horse Island is the largest island on Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Montana. For centuries, the Salish-Kootenai used the island in order to pasture horses and keep them from being stolen by other tribes. Protected as a state park since 1977, the island near Big Arm Bay is home to abundant wildlife including bighorn sheep, mule deer, waterfowl, and bald eagles. Access is by boat only and for day–use only.
