Most everyone who has visited Glacier National Park has seen Wild Goose Island on Saint Mary Lake from the Going-To-The-Sun Road. It has even been featured in the Robin Williams film "What Dreams May Come". We launched our kayaks from the Rising Sun boat launch and paddled to Wild Goose Island (which is actually two small islands). From there we floated west on Saint Mary Lake to the other side of Sun Point and had lunch with great views of the Peaks of Logan Pass. We then made our way across the lake to the south shore of Saint Mary Lake. We visited the famous "Silver Dollar Beach" on the south shore before returning to Rising Sun. Our voyage was between 8 and 9 miles in the kayaks. As luck had it, the Going-To-The-Sun Road opened that morning (6/22/2024) so we drove it back to the West Side of the Park.

A friend and I are heading out to Glacier third week of August. Been watching a lot of your Glacier videos for trails to do (and ones we know we can't do!). Great videos. Boy, you had a great day for kayaking! You are very lucky in where you live and having a live long hiking companion. Thank, Scott and Kim. From Western PA.

My Wife and I did this a few years ago. very nice lake if the wind is low. If the wind is up beware.

Absolutely. We only venture to the east side on the days the wind is lower. Same with getting on the lakes - especially on the east side - it can really get insanely windy east of the continental divide. Cheers!

I was apprehensive about the wind coming up as the east side notoriously can 😆 and being out on open water. Thankfully our trust in the forecast paid off because as you said, the wind there can be a game changer. Thank you for the comment and sharing your experiences as well 👍⛰

I love that place ❣ I windsurfed there in the mid 90's a few times (once in my birthday suit). Some pictures we took sailing there did well in a Kodak Funsaver photo contest by American Windsurfer magazine... Good times and thanks for sharing your adventure ❣ Aloha from Maui🤙

The still snow-capped peaks of Glacier were a great accent to this already amazing place. Agreed, Montana boasts some of the best scenery of all! ⛰ Thank you!

We were on the water early after our AIS inspection, 7:30am. I believe we were out about 7 hours including a stop for lunch in our jetboil and lots of sightseeing. We planned to take our time as this place is too extraordinary to rush through. Our kayaks were out of the water by about 2:30pm Thanks!

@@kimberlynolan2745 Thanks Whenever I've taken pictures at the wildgoose viewpoint in the afternoon, big whitecaps were breaking on St Mary's lake--strong west winds, had to hold my tripod to keep it semi steady. You hit it lucky, Did the winds pick-up by 4-5pm

We waited and planned for a day with minimal wind - which can take some patience east of the Continental divide.
