| Long Description | Rollins was named for the postmaster, Rehenault Rollins, when the office opened in 1904. (from Cheney's <I>Names on the Face of Montana</I>, Mountain Press Publishing Company) This beautiful resort location on the west shore of <a href="/categories/moreinfo.asp?SiteID=1&IDRRecordID=11891">Flathead Lake</a> offers beaches and panoramic views of the mountains of <a href="/national_parks/glacier/">Glacier National Park</a>. From here, it's an easy drive to most of the Flathead Valley's major attractions.</p><P>Flathead Lake is the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi in the lower 48 states, with over 200 square miles of water and 185 miles of shoreline. The southern half of Flathead Lake is within the boundary of the <a href="/places_to_go/indian_nations/selish-Ktunaxa-flathead/">Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes Flathead Reservation</a>.</p><P>Glacier National Park is also just a short drive from Rollins. It is perhaps the last vestige of pristine wilderness left among the national parks in the continental U.S. Uncrowded and offering some of the world's most beautiful scenery, its 1.4 million acres of rugged landscape was sculpted by slow moving glaciers. Wildlife abounds and the world's most scenic highway, <a href="/categories/moreinfo.asp?SiteID=1&IDRRecordID=9646">The Going-To-The-Sun Road</a>, cuts a swath through grand vistas.</p> |
