Just walking distance from Three Bears RV Park and adjacent to the Flathead River is Shady Lane Pond. Shady Lane Pond is a great place to take kids and dogs for a relaxing afternoon of fishing, playing and picnicking. There’s a covered patio and picnic bench and a grassy park for frisbee, running and playing.
The trail to Shady Lane Pond is short enough for toddlers to enjoy, yet remote and quiet.
You can find ample parking for both the Shady Lane Pond and the Flathead River. Just a short walk that is fit for toddlers. Enjoy the grassy park around Shady Lane Pond. Below you’ll find a trail going around the pond where you can stroll, play and run the dogs.
If you would rather stay close to camp, Three Bears RV Park has Spring Creek running right through the backside of it. It is a good place to also go fly fishing, because of the slower flow rates and water clarity. The creek runs into the Flathead River and has some of the same fish that anglers love!

Flathead Lake Ice Fishing
The Flathead lake allows for Ice Fishing in the winter months. Although it doesn’t usually freeze completely, most of the bays and shorelines do freeze. The lake has many whitefish and lake trout, with some yellow perch and cutthroat trout still around. If the lake is completely frozen, you can try Yellow Bay Point, Skidoo Bay, or Angel Point – Conrad Point. These spots should yield a good day of fishing. However, make sure to check on ice conditions as they are quick to change. Check out Flathead Lake Charters for more information on charters in the water. They have tours including half days and full days and even provide snacks, drinks, rods and reels, tackle and bait and life jackets for you and the whole family. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience ice fishing on the Flathead Lake.
