Flathead Lake is not the largest natural freshwater lake in the western united states. That would be Lake Iliamna in Alaska, a natural lake that covers 1000 square miles and is 900 feet deep. I'm not sure that Flathead Lake is even in the top four. I know that Becharof and Lake Clark are also larger. |
