Apgar Rentals located directly on the shore of Lake McDonald offers many days of calm water and warm temperatures that beg for canoe rides, paddle board expeditions and kayak adventures. We also have several small 10 hp motorboats available to tour this massive lake.
Sitting at an elevation of 3,153 feet above sea-level on Glacier National Park’s west side, Lake McDonald is one of the warmest, calmest lakes in the park. Get out on the water and look for Harlequin ducks near McDonald Creek or Eagles fishing for Lake Trout in Fish Creek Bay. This is an all-ages experience not to be missed!
