Lone Pine State Park Brochure

The overlooks at Lone Pine State Park present a dramatic view of the Flathead Valley. On a clear day, you can see Flathead Lake, Big Mountain, the Jewel Basin and Glacier National Park. A walk through the visitor center will provide information on living with wildlife in the wildland -urban interface, along with a look at wildlife and forest ecology within the park. At the park’s gift store you can find a variety of informative books on area wildlife, wildflowers and more.

With over five miles of trails at the park, you will be sure to find a great hike to revitalize your soul, a peaceful spot to relax or a fresh sign of area wildlife. Be sure to bring a picnic lunch and take advantage of the park’s picnic area under a canopy of ponderosa pine and Douglas fir trees.

Lone Pine State Park is a great destination for school field trips. With the assistance of a professional interpreter, students can learn about ecology, the water cycle, forest habitat, outdoor survival and more.
