Two Medicine Lake — Attraction in Browning

Glacier National Parks secret little treasure! 🤫 This part of the park is underrated and under visited. Lots of great trails to hike and even offers boat tours around the lake in summer or canoe and kayak. It is beautiful here in any season and one of my favorite parts of the park with some of my favorite trails. The road to Two Medicine is closed in winter and spring making it great for cross country skiing then biking after it’s been plowed. Summer and fall are good for hiking and it averages about 10° cooler than the west side of Glacier.

Stop by Running Eagle Falls on your way to the Lake for an easy trail to a beautiful waterfall at all times of the year.

Hike Scenic Point for some great views of the Two Medicine Lake area. You don’t even have to go all the way to the top and you’ll probably see big horn sheep.

Take a day to do Dawson/Pitamaken loop from the campground for incredible summit type views of valleys, lakes, and smaller mountains.

Take a day and hike around the print of the lake and branch off on many side trails leading to several waterfalls.

Take a short hike to Paradise Point for a picnic or...

I took a family of six on the boat ride on Two Medicine Lake for only $85. Is an excellent value!

I wish we had known that they would drop us off at the other end of the lake. We would have done the hiking trail if we had known ahead of time. Even if you're not hiking, the boat ride is incredible.

The boat is almost 100 years old but is pristine and recently restored. The sliding windows made it easy to take photographs. Our captain, was a young lady in a early 20s, who allowed us to spend time at the front of the boat taking pictures! She was very knowledgeable about the lake, the boat, and the history of the area. She even had a few good jokes!
