Boating, fishing, Watersports, skiing, hunting etc it's a truly unique place. The lakes are amazing. Golfing is cheap and there are tons of good accessible courses. There are not a lot of places with really good skiing/snowboarding/snowmobiling in the winter and truly lakeside living in the winter. Spokane, couerdalene and Kalispell areas have it all.
I should add that there are many Niall people there as well lol
