Lake Five

Yes—Paul’s Memorial provides the primary dock-view and access point for Lake Five. The dock sightline captures the lake’s cold, clear water and alpine backdrop, and the nearby resort offers facilities and lodging for extended visits.

Yes. The dock at Paul’s Memorial Fishing Access delivers a strong geological and scenic read: a glacially shaped basin with mountain silhouettes. You’ll still be in Glacier’s footprint, with nearby trails and viewpoints in reach.

A Montana Fishing License is required for anyone over 12 to fish Lake Five; obtain it before casting. The lake hosts kokanee salmon and rainbow trout, with other species present in the broader area.

Bear spray is recommended and maintain distance from wildlife. Stay on designated access areas; store food properly and keep children close, especially near water and forest edges.

The water here is cold and clear; color varies with light and depth, not a constant blue hue but reflective of the pristine alpine setting.
