Echo Lake CafeEcho Lake Cafe
I couldn't recommend Echo Lake enough! From the family orientated atmosphere to the amazing home cooked meals, this place is 10/10! My favorite thing to get is the chicken fried steak smothered in white gravy.
The Sitting DuckThe Sitting Duck
One of my favorite places to eat! It's like you're at the Bahamas but with gorgeous mountains in the back. You can also see the fish in the water- that's how clear the water is! Great for hanging out and having a nice drink by the water with friends and family. My favorite thing to eat there is the pulled pork nachos
A Bar, MontanaA Bar, Montana
Great and fun atmosphere! Bar food but it's good! When you go outside it's a whole new atmosphere with the gorgeous mountains in your face, games for kids to play and also a stage for performances.

Garnet Ghost TownGarnet Ghost Town
This town thrived during the late 1890s when gold was discovered, but was largely abandoned after the gold ran out. Garnet boasts a remarkable collection of well-preserved buildings, including homes, stores, and a saloon, offering a glimpse into the lives of the miners and homesteaders who lived there. (A small fee is charged for entry for those over 16 years old.)
Holland Lake LodgeHolland Lake Lodge
I recommend doing the 1.5 mile hike at Holland Lake Lodge! It takes you all the way up to a waterfall with amazing views along the way up. Take a hiking stick as it is steep on the way up, pack a snack and lots of water and don't forget your bear spray.
