SEASONAL ACTIVITIES - SPRING

Indulge in a little boot scootin' at the Cowboy Ball, Banquet and Auction every March at the KwaTaqNuk Resort. Then, grab your fishing pole and hit the lake to reel-in the "big one", as residents fish to help deplete the lake of an abundance of mackinaw fish and compete for awards, during the annual Mack Days festival. And during the Flathead Cherry Fest in April, people gather to enjoy food, arts and crafts, a bake sale, entertainment, raffles, and free door prizes in honor of locally grown cherries.
