Here is a great kayak route that Marlene and I took in Glacier National Park. It was a short scenery packed morning trip from Swiftcurrent Lake up the connecting creek (and back) to Lake Josephine.

Skeeko Bay has a trailhead for a 3 mile loop hike. From the lake, it rises gradually through an old-growth Ponderosa Pine forest …
to a hill top with a, primarily, southern view. There are remnants of the island’s earlier residents here.
An optional spur trail leaves the loop and steeply climbs to an panoramic overlook, revealing the lake north, west, and, south.
The little sailboat haven town of Dayton can be seen off in the distance.
The loop trail then gradually drops back down through another valley and another old-growth Ponderosa forest. Eventually, it rejoins the eastern shore of Skeeko Bay.

During the winter months, the lake’s level is dropped about 10 feet. This is near its pre-dam natural level. The lower water level enables better management of the rapid spring mountain melt-off. Here is a short time-lapse—filmed from the dock of good friends—of a Flathead Lake spring evening.
BTW, the two waterfowl that make brief appearances are loons.

Here is a video of Flathead Lake that I made a few years ago. It shows off the lake pretty well and it may help you understand why it is so loved.
Trivia: Oprah picked up some of our Flathead Lake footage for her voice-over on a Super Soul Sunday episode about Montana native, Phil Jackson:
