is in a natural amphitheater at the foot of the lake. The town,
the trade center of one of the most fertile farming areas in
Montana, has modern stores, and homes with delightful gardens.
Within a block of the business district is a dock and breakwater.
A 63-acre park on the lake shore affords facilities for golfing,
playing tennis, and for boating and swimming. The Cherry Regatta
