Smith Lake is a man-made reservoir located near Kila in Flathead County, Montana, accessible via Smith Lake Road off MCB-2. The access point provides a boat ramp suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. Note that Smith Lake Road is a narrow, graveled single-lane road, so plan accordingly and use caution when accessing the site with a vehicle and trailer.
The lake offers a calm, protected paddling environment typical of reservoir waters. This makes it an ideal destination for recreational kayaking and canoeing, as well as motorboat use. Parking is available at the ramp, though facilities may be limited. Ashley Lake South Campground is located within 10 miles if you're planning an overnight trip. Before heading out, check current conditions and water levels, as reservoir conditions can vary seasonally.
