About this place

Added by Outbound

Enjoy an easy stroll along Lake McDonald's west shore featuring some incredible views.

From the trailhead, just past Fish Creek Campground on the North Fork Road, begin strolling along the trail towards Rocky Point. The trail meanders through some forest, and along a stream, and then eventually gets you some views of Lake McDonald. The trail is signed the whole way. Finish off your short hike with a picnic and a swim at Rocky Point.

There are some fantastic small rocks to jump off of (hence the name) if you dare the icy waters.  Return the same way you came, and promptly head for a huckleberry ice-cream cone in Apgar Village.

Hiking to Rocky Point can also be started from the Lake McDonald Trailhead.
