Tally Lake is a paradise for hikers, campers, and other outdoor enthusiasts, encircled as it is by the verdant Flathead National Forest.

Many water sports, including swimming, boating, and fishing, are possible in the lake's pristine waters.

Kokanee salmon, rainbow trout, and northern pike are just a few of the fish species that call Tally Lake home, drawing in anglers every time.

Deep, chilly waters and a mostly undisturbed habitat are what keep the lake's fish population strong.

Guests wishing to explore the area will find the Tally Lake Campground, situated on the northeastern coast, to be an ideal location.

The park provides a wide variety of options for recreation and exploration, including a large number of campsites, picnic spots, and hiking paths.
