The Whitefish Trail is a new trail system located just west of Whitefish. It is accessed from Highway 93 north 3 miles from town, 1 mile past the Whitefish Lake Golf Course, via Lion Mountain Loop Road and the Lion Mountain Trailhead. The trail is open year round for non-motorized recreational use.

Whitefish is home to the first 36-hole golf complex in Montana and the rich history of the course will serve as a perfect backdrop to your vacation. Right next to the first tee box, Whitefish Lake Restaurant features fine dining in an historic Montana setting. Built in 1936, the clubhouse features a restaurant that many consider the best in the Flathead, known for Prime rib, baked Alaskan halibut, lobster, Alaskan king crab, Iowa rack of lamb, center cut beef tenderloin, roast duck, and world class martinis. Lunch is served during the summer and a casual evening menu is offered on the patio overlooking the golf course.
