Flathead name

I read somewhere that the name of the Flathead lake came from the fact that it has a flat head, as in the head of the lake, being a filled in marsh, is amazingly flat. I don't remember what book this was in however (but it is in the Kalispell or Columbia Falls library). Jrincayc 03:42, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd always assumed it came from the Flathead Indians.

misinformation

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.

Remove cleanup tag?

I feel that we could probably remove the cleanup tag from this article. It reads fairly well, and I didn't see any glaring errors in spelling, syntax or grammar. But, this is the first I've seen it, so I didn't want to be presumptious. CharacterZero | Speak 17:42, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
