Lake Pend Oreille

Stunning views, clean water and small crowds…an unspeakable gem of a freshwater lake deep enough to test a submarine in. Amazing fishing, warm to swim in the summer and great ice skating all winter, we local’s are SPOILED!

Some folks say Lake Pend Oreille is Idaho’s most magnificent lake. But I’ll let’s just stick to the facts: It’s the state’s largest (43 miles long, 111 miles of shoreline). It’s the deepest (at 1,158 feet deep, there are only four deeper lakes in the nation). It’s got terrific scenery, splendid clean water, big fish, a fascinating history … and lots of fun stuff to do, too.
