Seeley Lake

Seeley Lake, Montana, is a year-round outdoor paradise flanked by the breathtaking Mission and Swan mountains. This destination community offers close proximity to Glacier National Park and Missoula and ease of access to state and federal public lands, including nearby trails, glistening lakes (including picturesque Seeley Lake itself), pristine streams, the lush Lolo National Forest, the Mission Mountain Wilderness and the wild, unspoiled terrain of the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex—one of the largest wilderness areas in the lower 48.

Seeley Lake’s Chain of Lakes offers year-round, jaw-dropping views around every bend, plus multiple waterfalls, a fire lookout tower, a ranger station, the scenic Clearwater Canoe Trail, idyllic summer camp/retreat locations, and a winter wonderland of snowmobiling and Nordic ski trails. Numerous picturesque lodging options can be found in this charming little resort town, plus restaurants and locally owned shops. Within 30-mile radius are historic ranching communities, the Lewis and Clark Trail, and old mining ghost towns.

Lindey’s Bayburger food truck enhances the local flavor, and Double Arrow Lodge and Tamaracks Resort add to the idyllic, western-inspired lodging options. The main thoroughfare, State Highway 83, leads to attractions like Morrell Falls and numerous ATV trails. This bustling hub is dotted with quaint local businesses like The Ice Cream Place and a charming visitor center.
