Finley Point

ADVISORY:

The current drought situation in the Flathead Basin has caused the level of Flathead Lake to be below full pool. Due to current low water levels, the marina and boat ramp at the Finley Point Unit of Flathead Lake State Park may not be usable. Please use extreme caution and check water levels before launching your boat. If you need to cancel your reservation due to the low water levels, you will be given a full refund. Please call 1-855-922-6768 for cancellations.  For current lake levels, please visit https://waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/12371550
