Swiftcurrent Lake is located in the Many Glacier region of Glacier National Park, in the U.S. state of Montana.

Many hiking trails originate from the area and scenic tour boats provide access to the lake for visitors.

Swiftcurrent Lake lies at 4,878 feet (1,487 m) above sea level.

The fast disappearing Grinnell Glacier is one of several glaciers and snowfields that provide water for the streams that replenish the lake.

Mount Gould, Grinnell Point and Mount Wilbur are the largest mountains immediately west of the lake.
