Columbia Falls

Tucked into the Flathead Valley beside the Flathead River, Columbia Falls is a place whose character is shaped by mountain-fed water and the broad, forested country of northwestern Montana. The river gathers nearby from the North and Middle forks before continuing south through the valley, while Glacier National Park lies to the east beyond the community. Columbia Falls developed with the arrival of the Great Northern Railway in 1891, and its compact downtown still supports local businesses, rafting outfitters and trips toward the park. The Whitefish Range rises northeast of town, adding a strong mountain presence to the open valley setting. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the Flathead Valley.
