Review & FAQ:
Saint Mary Lake is Glacier National Park’s second largest lake. The lake has a perfect teal hue that is typical of lakes formed by glaciers. A number of species come to Saint Mary Lake for water, making it a prime spot for seeing wildlife such as mule deer, elk, and both grizzly and black bears. Visitors can take a scenic boat tour offered by Glacier Park Boat Company during the warmer months. Picnicking on the lakeshore is also a popular way to spend time here. Those who wish to swim will find the water quite cold, but the views of the surrounding scenery are unforgettable.
