Somers, United States – May 15, 2026 / Paddle Board Outfitters /
SOMERS, Mont. — May 13, 2026 — Paddle Board Outfitters, a paddleboard rental and guided tour company based on the north shore of Flathead Lake, has opened for the 2026 summer season. The operation offers stand-up paddleboard rentals, guided tours, and on-water experiences for visitors and residents exploring Flathead Lake in northwestern Montana.
Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi in the contiguous United States, draws visitors from across the region each summer. Paddle Board Outfitters operates out of Somers, Montana, providing direct water access and guided experiences that allow guests to explore the lake’s shoreline, wildlife, and clear glacial waters.
The company offers a range of rental options for solo paddlers and groups, along with structured guided tours led by experienced local guides. Tours are designed for varying skill levels, from first-time paddlers to experienced enthusiasts looking to cover more of the lake’s expansive surface.
“Flathead Lake is one of the most remarkable places in the country to be on the water, and our goal is to make that experience accessible to anyone who visits,” said Chris Hogan, owner of Paddle Board Outfitters. “Whether someone has never stood on a paddleboard before or they want a guided route across the bay, we have something for them this season.”
Somers sits on the northwestern shore of Flathead Lake, approximately 10 miles south of Kalispell and within driving distance of Glacier National Park. The location positions Paddle Board Outfitters as a natural complement to the broader outdoor recreation offerings of the Flathead Valley, attracting both destination travelers and regional visitors.
Reservations and rental information for the season are available through the company’s website.
