Kwataqnuk Resort & Casino in Polson, Montana

Kwataqnuk is a Salish word meaning “the place where the water flows out” — a reference to where Flathead Lake empties into the Flathead River at the Polson narrows. Flathead Lake is the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River, covering approximately 191 square miles with the Mission Mountains as a backdrop. Polson is at the southern tip of Flathead Lake, the county seat of Lake County, and situated on the Flathead Indian Reservation of the CSKT — a 1.3-million-acre reservation in northwestern Montana. The resort serves both local Polson residents and the significant Flathead Lake tourism market.
