Wayfarers State Park , 0.5 miles south of Bigfork, Montana [1], overlooks Flathead Lake and hosts 40 campsites and a boat ramp [2]. In 2013, 133,000 individuals visited the park [3].
Recreation
Wayfarers hosts the annual Northern Rockies Paddlefest at Wayfarers State Park, which in 2013 attracted over 200 participants [4]. Visitors may access the boat ramp for aquatic activities, and fisherman may fish the waters of Flathead Lake [5]. On February 23, 2016 development plans were announced by Montana State Parks for the improvement of a bicycle campground area, to feature spots for 10 campsites, and bicycle related amenities [6]. Paddleboarders may race in the Flathead Lake Sup Classic, featuring 6 mile and 1 mile races [7].
Flora and Fauna
The canopy is dominated by pine and fir trees, beneath which bloom seasonal wildflowers [8]. In 1998, The Harry Horn Native Plant Garden was planted, featuring botanical education opportunities and many wildflowers including arrowleaf balsamroot, indian paintbrush, silky lupine, and death camas [9].
