"Your love deserves a trip to Glacier National Park's Lake McDonald, where below the surface of the water, unique and vibrantly colored pebbles create a walkable mosaic. The lake's beautifully colored rocks were formed by glaciers, as were many of the impressive cliffs and waterfalls nearby." - Travel + Leisure Editors

Beautiful! We loved taking out a motorboat on this lake! Another time we did kayak/SUP. And we also liked to come eat some huckleberry ice cream and sit out on the benches to watch the sunset over the lake

Beautiful! We loved it. Ride the bikes around. Admired the view. Saw some dear. Thought about bears. Fun.

Stunning mountains and crystal clear water. The rocks along the shore are beautiful multicolored. The lake is easily accessible, with several pull off. It's a very short drive from West Park Entrance.

We were passing by the area and stopped at the Apgar Visitor Center and then the Lake McDonald Lodge. Beautiful lake with a lot of people kayaking and using small boats.

Came here over the Summer (July 2024) and WHAT A BEAUTY! This lake is pristine and the colored rocks are unreal! The area around the lake is rocks. There are only a few parking places to access the lake, however you are able to walk to a clear place to sit out. Saw plenty of people swimming and kayaking. Do not miss out on this lake while visiting Glacier National Park.

Fantastic lake with fantastic views. The water is clear and beautiful. Boat rentals are by the hour and are affordable. Fantastic location to propose 💍10/10 would recommend.

Went to Glacier NP in end of July for my daughter's birthday. The weather was perfect during this time. We kayaked on Lake McDonald in the morning. It was serene and calm with not too many people. More people came later in the day. Would recommend going early. The park had a nice combination of restaurants, gift shops, hotel accomodations and launching pads. The lake itself was beautiful to be on. You can see the mountains and beauty much better from the water.
