Downtown Whitefish
Downtown Whitefish (Central Avenue)
A western-style old street of brick and timber along Central Avenue, lined with restaurants, bars, galleries and outdoor gear shops. It is the heart of town life.
Downtown Whitefish centers on Central Avenue. Within a few blocks you'll find restaurants with old-fashioned Western storefronts, craft beer bars, cafés, galleries, cowboy supply stores and outdoor equipment shops. The mood is laid-back, and in the evening it becomes a gathering place for skiers and hikers. On summer Tuesday evenings there is a farmers' market, and in early February the Whitefish Winter Carnival brings parades and snow activities. At the north end of the old town stands the Great Northern Railway depot, built in 1927. A few minutes' walk takes you to the city beach on the lakeshore. It's ideal for an evening stroll or a meal, and parking is easy.
