With a population of just under 8,000, Whitefish is home to individuals who appreciate the outdoors and want easy access to its varied offerings. Whitefish offers residents a laid-back lifestyle that is intertwined with an appreciation for nature.

Despite its seemingly remote location, the town boasts some of the closest direct air service into a mountain ski town in the United States. Whitefish is also located adjacent to Glacier National Park, Big Mountain, and the Whitefish Range, which makes the town a haven for adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Whether you’re in the mood for an upscale culinary experience or prefer a low-key meal, you can find all of that in Whitefish. Tupelo Grille is located in the heart of downtown Whitefish and has been a staple of the community since its first opening in 1995. A fine-dining establishment, they specialize in New Orleans-inspired dishes, such as gumbo and jambalaya. Make a reservation at Whitefish Lake Restaurant for an unforgettable meal. This upscale eatery offers steak and seafood, plus a long wine list.

If you’re looking for a more casual restaurant, head over to The Great Northern Bar & Grill. Opened in 1919, this electic bar is well-loved for their burgers, beers, and live music. Bulldog Saloon is another local hangout with a rustic vibe and is a great spot to indulge in some American comfort food. Craving a little something sweet after dinner? Satisfy your sweet tooth with a trip to Sweet Peaks Ice Cream. Founded in 2010, this family-owned locale offers ice cream, sorbet, and delicious treats.

A stroll through the charming Central Avenue or the historic Railway District will reveal a robust array of local shops and galleries.
