Labor Day on the Flathead
We got up early on Saturday morning of Labor Day weekend to head up the Flathead River. We spend the first hour motoring across the lake and up the river. We then spent the rest of the day puttering back down the river and enjoying the peaceful water and fewer boats than we encounter on the lake. We went all the way to the mouth of the Half Moon Slough before turning back. We went for a swim in Fennon Slough before re-entering Flathead Lake.
Wildlife on Flathead
We spent the day boating on Flathead Lake and River as a family. We started off by boating past a Bald Eagle hanging out on a piece of driftwood in the middle of the lake. We saw several more Bald Eagles along the Flathead River. We anchored up at the mouth of Fennon Slough for some swimming where we released our wildlife into the river.
Up the Flathead River
We spent a few hours boating on Flathead Lake and decided to travel up the river into the Flathead Valley. We visited the Somer’s Bay and old railroad facilities before turning north. The river was very calm and peaceful and turned into one of our favorite new spots. Throughout the day we saw 4 to 5 Bald Eagles, what a great way to spend a summer day.
