Smith
Lake is a small lake lying to the west of Kalispell off
Highway 2, near the town of Kila. The lake is a "wetland" lake
in that it surrounded on three sides by a large wetland.
The lake itself is also part of a Montana state wildlife
refuge.
Smith Lake receives
quite a bit of use due to its very close proximity to Kalispell
and the Flathead Valley. The lake has excellent fishing
for perch. It also has fair fishing for rainbow trout.
Since Smith Lake
is quite small and is not horribly windy, virtually any
boat will work on this lake, whether it be a pontoon
boat, float
tube, inflatable
raft or full-fledged motorboat. While the lake is scenic
and it receives a fair amount of use, due to the close
proximity of larger, more scenic lakes, few recreational
boaters make their way onto Smith Lake.
