I go to school in Polson. I have attended both the high school and the middle school. The school system is not a great place to be unless you are highly independent. There is little to do in the town, and almost everything is closed on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday- so more than half of the week. The people you meet will either be very friendly or awful. There are a few good places to eat, but they are often closed. If you're looking for a night out, your only options are the two or three bars fill with drunk old men. There are a few parks, but you have to know which one is right for what you're looking for at the time. Riverside is overcrowded in the summer, Sacajawea is good but small with little beach and very shady, City Docks is always covered in goose droppings, and botcher is right next to the highway,
Polson is a wonderful town set right on Flathead lake. It is quiet, beautiful and still has good amenities. It is about an hour from two different cities and a couple hours from Glacier National Park. I wish they had a few more things for little children to keep them busy and a better variety of restaurants.
Beautiful area with lots of friendly people. The town has a lot of charm and we enjoy living here. It has some good amenities for the size and is close to a couple cities where we can pick up anything we can't find, easily. Wish there were more eating options and more things to do for families and little kids.
