Just follow the signs to the state boat launch area and paddle around the lake. Many private house surround the lake so you have to watch out for motor boats. There are free PFDs available for the kids and a host.
This is a great alternative to other lakes or streams in the area that get too cold. Echo Lake is clean and beautiful, worth driving to. Also, this is on the way to Jewel Basin, a trailhead to awesome hiking trails.
Good service. Friendly staff.Can be crowded at meal timesNice outdoor seating I the summerGood food but not fancy
We have been regulars for several years and always find their food, service, and ambience to be the best in the Valley. We usually order their giant pancake, which is delicious, and it is big enough for two. Add the raspberry/blueberry sauce for a real treat.
Open only for breakfast and lunch, the cafe offers great service, friendly staff and good food at a reasonable price. they are open year round so summer can be a difficult to find seating.
A hidden gem. Worth searching out. Best French toast. You will not need lunch after eating breakfast at this cute cafe
This restaurant is one of my favorite places in the lower Flathead Valley to go and have breakfast or dinner. They have a Salmon Omelet that is absolutely wonderful!
This is a unique dining experience located just east of Bigfork on the Swan Lake Hwy. They have outdoor seating during warm weather. Unique menu items and wonderful homemade goodies. Don't miss this! Get their early or you will have to wait, esp on the weekend. They are only open until 3pm
The lines are long in the summer, but they move fast.Charming patio, also.Friendly and cozy inside.
It is a hidden gem and the homes in the area are charming. If you go, you have to stop in at the Echo Lake Cafe. It is crowded and there is usually a wait, but for good reason. Amazing food.I dare you to try and eat a "full Stack" of pancakes!!!!!
