Lake McDonald |
|
Lake McDonald is the largest lake in Glacier NP. At about 10 miles long and 1-1.5 miles wide it's quite a lake. Lake was formed by huge glacier digging out a deep hole in the valley, than when the glacier receded water filled up the huge gap. It's always cold, at about 250 feet deep it stays cold even in the Hottest Days of summer. If one comes to glacier to see amazing temperate forests and beautiful mountains, than Lake is the place to go. |
