Sun Runner Flathead Lake Cruises

Enjoy your afternoon by taking a Scenic boat tour on Flathead Lake in a 23-foot cabin cruiser with full canvas. Customers can design their own cruises or enjoy one of Sun Runner’s standard tours.

Flathead Lake is the largest lake in the western part of the coterminous United States, surpassing Nevada/California’s Lake Tahoe by .5 miles in surface area, 5 miles in length, and about 3.5 miles in width. Flathead Lake is also the largest lake in the state of Montana. This lake is one of the cleanest in the world for its size and type. While the Great Salt Lake is technically larger than Flathead Lake, the former is a natural salt lake or inland sea while Flathead Lake is a freshwater lake.

Located in the northwest corner of the state, 7 miles south of Kalispell, it is approximately 30 miles long and 16 miles wide, covering 191.5 square miles. Flathead Lake is 30 miles southwest of Glacier National Park and is flanked by two scenic highways, which wind along its curving shoreline.

Sun Runner also provides a boat trip to Wild Horse Island to see ancient Indian pictographs as you cruise the shoreline. Hike and picnic to experience the wildlife and natural beauty of the Island for an hour or a day with our island shuttle trips. Or, cruise the Flathead River through pastoral farm land and wild river bottom, home to waterfowl, osprey, eagle and deer.

This trip offers some of the best mountain peak views in the valley. Take a cruise with skipper Jess and experience the majesty firsthand! The boat is equipped with marine radio, cell phone, sonar, life jackets and private restroom facilities in the cabin. Bottled water, snacks and a cooler are provided. Pack a picnic basket or use our on-board barbecue to grill your favorites. Full catering from local restaurant the Raven is available. Wine and cheese packages and sushi too!
