Its Big Fork, I've only been there once but it is beautiful. Next to Flat Head Lake and a short distance to Glacier National Park. You will love it.

Same here, been there once about 15 years ago, much of the area around Flathead lake is very scenic, though there is a rather plain region to the south of there.

Polson
We spent a week at KOA Campground Polson, on south end of Flathead, not sure if this is where, or how much you want to spend. Nice park had a beautiful space looking at Flathead. Adjacent to KOA is Polson Motorcoach Resort if you want to spend more $$$. Jim

I have relatives in Kalispell. I have never been there. Planning a trip west next year about this time. Looking for a place for a 45' with toad for a couple of nights. Always appreciate referrals from someone who has stayed in a good place.

I went to Kalispell , three years ago , to visit a friend having an operation .
We used 93 on the way to Kalispell , from Frenchtown and decided on 28/200/135 to get back to I-90 to travel to the coast , should have just run back down 93.
28 is narrow , no shoulder, do-able ; BUT on the day we traveled , huge groups of cyclists who figured they owned the road. 
After the first three groups , I started using the air horn every couple of miles , echo down the valley kept them along the edge of the road instead of three wide.
