As soon as it enters U.S. territory, the North Fork becomes a federally protected Wild & Scenic River. It flows south, forming the western border of Glacier National Park, then joins with the Middle Fork and the South Fork before emptying into Flathead Lake, the largest natural lake west of the Mississippi. Both the river and the lake are known for their excellent angling.

Here's a question I bet you never thought you'd have to ask. Should a Canadian mining company with German and Japanese financial backing be allowed to pollute one of our finest trout streams so that it can ship low-quality coal to China? The powers-that-be in British Columbia are on the verge of allowing a huge mining operation in the headwaters of the North Fork of the Flathead River, despite strong objections from the State of Montana and despite the fact that the U.S./Canadian Boundary Waters Treaty prohibits the pollution of streams or rivers that flow across our common border with Canada.
