Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park is renowned for its
stunning clarity, colorful rocks, and sweeping views that provide
a glimpse into the park’s rugged interior. The lake is a popular
stop for visitors, and the view from the foot of the lake is
arguably one of the most photographed places in the park.

Glacier National Park is characterized by its relatively
untouched wilderness and pristine waterways, and park staff have
identified a great need to identify the presence of microplastics
and make informed decisions about how this pollution could be
affecting the park’s waterways now and in the future. This is the
first time the park has evaluated any of its waters for the
presence of microplastics. Keep reading to learn about the
results and findings from this initial study in Glacier National
Park. Your donations to the Glacier Conservancy are making this
research possible!
