This is a very popular boat ride that explores the Gates of the Mountains like Lewis and Clark saw it. Very picturesque narrow canyon with high rock walls on both sides. There are two comfortable excursion boats that leave on the hour or so.

Scenic, beautiful place, we had a picnic lunch, played at the beach, so pleasant. Clean everywhere, there was even a place where people could clean their fish. Wonderful place.

We rented a boat at the Boat Loft at the bottom of the lake and spent a day fishing , caught half a dozen nice rainbows ,a walleye and a lot of perch. Very reasonable prices and good service, they do not sell fishing licenses at marina so get them before in Helena.

Camped here while visiting the Gates of the Mountains and it was quite nice. I was in a tent even though most everybody was in an RV. Lovely lake very popular for fishing, nice swim areas and good hiking as well.

Discovered this by accident. What a joy! The boat ride provides for stunning vistas and the captain is a great naturalist providing important information about the area and of course the association with Lewis & Clark. We were even treated to two deer bathing in the lake.

Holter Lake was much more interesting than I expected. I went out on a small, private boat and on the big tour ship. The canyon is magnificent and the lake is unique and beautiful. I will definitely be back to camp in some of the riverside camp grounds.

Holter is one of those places that the locals love. From camping to boating, hiking, fishing and Kayaking. There is something here to serve the needs of everyone. It's the kind of place you can choose to park your RV or go a bit further and rough it near a creek. I was first introduced to the area as a child on Holiday with my family. When we camped in the lower campground. We eventually transplanted to the area and at least once a summer we find ourselves out with nature here.

I have done all the major west National parks on the same road trip as dropping on Holter Lake. I thought none were as startling . It had the compactness , tranquility, beauty , people but only a few . A total suprise . If ever go back t USA this will be on the agenda for a longer stay .

This lake located in the mountain between Great Falls and Helena is a great place to camp and boat. It is located about 7 miles off the highway from Wolf Creek up a winding road. The lake is crystal clear and is full of fish. The campground is basic with no showers but has basic running water and pit toilets. The tent sites are located on a large expanse of grass just about the boat docks and launch.There is a small store and onsite camp attendants. We found it a quiet and relaxing place to camp.

We had a great camp spot near the lake. It was wonderful but unless you have a boat, there are better places to camp in the central Montana area. Still, it was a great weekend with hiking options. Seeing "Gates of the Mountains" was our favorite experience that weekend.... Amazing to think Lewis and Clark was in the exact same spot many years ago...

I frequent here many times a year! Awesome place to fish, camp with the family. They also have been pouring a lot of money into the camp sites & RV lots. New bathrooms, fish cleaning stations...even got a vending machine for bait! Love this area.

Holy cow - a beautiful day of perfect weather, fun fishing, beautiful scenery, rental pontoon boat with awning from the marina on Lower Holter. We saw or passed about a dozen boats during the day. That's it. It was like a private lake. Wind was perfect for drift fishing along shoreline.

Had a blast fishing and taking photos around the lake.

Visited Holter Lake while passing through on a trip through Montana. Would love to come back and rent a boat to spend some time fishing. Bald Eagle greeted me overhead as I crossed the river coming in at Craig.
