Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park offers amazing vistas both above and under the water! Apgar beach is a gently sloping cobble beach with multicolored stones. Once in the water the slope is gentle until you are almost 50 yards offshore where the slope steepens and quickly drops to over 400 feet.
During August and September surface temps can be 65-68 degrees Fahrenheit, but dropping below the thermocline can expose you to temperatures of about 25-30 degrees cooler in a matter of inches!

It is common to see trout, smolts, kokanee salmon and the occasional bull trout as well as crayfish and sculpins.
There are several manmade features in this area to include a small ore railway and ore cart, "tool forest", and various engine blocks scattered across the slope.
Boat traffic is common, bring your dive flag and SMB for safety.
