Whitefish Lake State Park is a 10-acre day-use and camping park situated on the eastern shore of Whitefish Lake. It features a popular sandy beach for swimming and sunbathing, shaded picnic tables, and a boat launch for easy lake access. The campground offers tent and RV sites nestled among ponderosa pines, some with lake views. Visitors can hike a short nature trail, play volleyball, or simply relax by the water. The park's convenient location near town makes it a go-to spot for both locals and tourists seeking a classic Montana lake outing.

- Swim from the sandy beach, which is one of the few public beaches on the lake.
- Camp overnight in a lakeside site with views of the water and mountains.
- Launch a boat or kayak from the park's ramp for a day on the lake.
