A lake like no other

Pristine. Stunning. Magnificent. These are just some of the words used to describe Lake Pend Oreille (pronounced pond-a-RAY), Idaho’s largest and deepest lake. With depths of more than 1,200 feet and 111 miles of shoreline, its beauty and purity are sustained by the natural mountain-fed waters from the Clark Fork and Pack Rivers. Lake Pend Oreille is tucked away in the Kaniksu National Forest, offering mile after mile of alpine beauty—and a mountain-lake opportunity that grows more precious as coveted natural settings become harder to find.
