Kalispell Fun Fact
The name Kalispell comes from a Salish word meaning "flat land above the lake," and the town's founders added an extra "L" for good measure—because when it comes to this community, more is definitely more. Flathead Lake near Kalispell is home to its own legend: the Flathead Lake Monster, similar to the Loch Ness Monster. Don't worry though—the only thing mysterious about Kalispell's real estate market is how anyone could resist living here. President Teddy Roosevelt spent time at the Conrad Mansion during Montana hunting expeditions, and legend has it that daredevil Evel Knievel was inspired to jump Snake River Canyon after an evening at Moose's Saloon. This town has been making people jump for joy for over a century.
