Goat Haunt, Montana

Upper Waterton Lake lies on the border between Canada and the United States. At the south end of the lake lies Goat Haunt, Montana in Glacier National Park and you get there from the town of Waterton in Canada by boat (or by foot if you care to walk). Goat Haunt consists only of a ranger station that is staffed in the summer.

The name comes from the mountain goats that used to be common on the mountain range along the southeast side of the lake. Unfortunately, they were fairly easy targets up there for hunters and are now uncommon. Haunt used to have an English language meaning of "hang-out" and it doesn't refer to ghosts in any way....
