The Swan River Inn is located in downtown Bigfork, Montana. Leave your car at home and walk to all major attractions, browse through Art Galleries and enjoy a wide variety of local crafts and art. Catch a first class performance at the Playhouse. Enjoy a cruise on the Flathead Lake right from the pier in front of the Inn. Go fishing on the river or the lake and catch a big one. There are many hiking trails in the immediate area with breathtaking views. The 'Elves' come out right after Thanksgiving and deck out the town with live Christmas trees, red bows and twinkling lights. You can feel the spirit of the season everywhere. The shops and Galleries are stocked with the most exquisite gifts to choose from. Cross country skiing is for the more nature-minded folks and downhill skiing on the Big Mountain, Montana's largest ski area, is only 45 minutes away. If you want to relax in your cozy room you can watch the children ice skate on the Bay. To avoid the hustle and bustle of summertime travel, visit the Swan River Inn in the more relaxed seasons of colorful Fall, fairy tale Winter or rejuvenating Spring. Bigfork has a great reputation for its fine restaurants, the best in the Flathead Valley, if not the whole state. Many tourists claim never to have found better food in their travels around the world.
