Seeley Lake office
Tucked between the Bob Marshall Wilderness and the Mission Mountains Wilderness, the charming town of Seeley Lake offers a lifestyle unlike anywhere else in Montana. Situated along the scenic Highway 83 corridor, often called the Glacier Parkway, Seeley Lake anchors the Seeley-Swan Valley and serves as a gateway to Glacier National Park from the South.
The town takes its name from Jasper B. Seeley, who built a small cabin beside the lake near the end of the 19th century. What began as a humble homestead has grown into one of Montana's most beloved mountain communities, a place where the pace slows down, and the wilderness feels close enough to touch.
A Lake Lifestyle Like No Other
Just 85 miles southeast of Kalispell and 50 miles northeast of Missoula, Seeley Lake draws visitors and residents alike to its 1,025-acre waters. Boating, waterskiing, wakeboarding, fishing, and paddling keep the lake lively during summer months, when the town's population of 2,000 nearly doubles. Rent a canoe and glide along the Clearwater Canoe Trail, cast a line from shore or boat, or simply find a quiet spot to soak in the solitude.
Beyond the main lake, the Seeley-Swan chain of lakes, connected by the Clearwater and Swan Rivers, offers even more opportunities to explore. This interconnected waterway creates a paddler's paradise and some of the best fishing in western Montana.
Wilderness at Your Doorstep
The surrounding landscape is nothing short of spectacular. The Bob Marshall and Mission Mountains Wilderness areas flank the valley on both sides, encompassing over a million acres of roadless backcountry. For hikers, the 4.5-mile round-trip trail to Morrell Falls delivers stunning views of one of the region's most beautiful waterfalls.
When winter arrives, Seeley Lake transforms into a snowmobiler's dream. With access to over 350 miles of groomed trails right from town, the area has earned a reputation for world-class riding and breathtaking mountain scenery. Cross-country skiing and nearby downhill options round out the winter recreation.
A Small-Town With A Year-Round Community
Beyond outdoor adventure, Seeley Lake offers genuine small-town charm. Unique local shops provide crafts and daily essentials, while community events bring residents together throughout the year. The Loon and Fish Festival and Tamarack Festival are local favorites, and the Fourth of July fireworks display over the lake is a tradition not to be missed. Horseback riding, local eateries, and summer stops at the iconic Ice Cream Place make every visit memorable.
