In October 2021, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks acquired the 106-acre Somers Beach property on the northwest shore of Flathead Lake. The park provides access to nearly a half-mile of shoreline. The park is comprised of a wide, flat sandy beach that is accessible when Flathead Lake is below full pool from fall through spring, a rocky shoreline to the west, extensive wetlands and riparian areas in the south/center, and some treed and grassy areas inland. It is bordered by the Flathead Lake Waterfowl Production Area (WPA) managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service on the east. Overall, about 2,400 acres along the north shore of Flathead Lake are currently protected by a patchwork of WPA and FWP lands and private conservation easements. These lands help support 229 documented bird species, as well as other wildlife.
In spring 2022, FWP is conducting a public planning process to help guide future use and development of the site with the goal of establishing a clear vision and long-term plan for the park.
Somers Beach State Park is day-use only, all dogs must be on a leash and fires are not permitted.
