Explore the largest lake in Idaho.

Lake Pend Oreille is endlessly fascinating to nature lovers everywhere. Twice the size of Lake Coeur d’Alene, with more than double the water volume of Montana’s Lake Flathead, and among the five deepest lakes in the U.S. — along with Lake Tahoe, Crater Lake, Lake Chelan and Lake Superior — Idaho’s pride and joy was carved out by glaciers millennia ago, and you can sense its timeless beauty to this day. Surrounded by national forests and major mountain ranges, you’ll gladly spend endless days exploring its miles of shoreline, fishing its deep waters, and visiting its charming communities, waterfront eating spots and quaint watering holes.

Fishing

Long known for producing trophy trout, mackinaw and kokanee salmon, Lake Pend Oreille is ideal for anglers. A species of giant rainbow trout called kamloops is especially prominent, but many others abound, including bass, pike and walleye. Catches exceeding 20 pounds are not unusual, including the “certified weight” record bull trout of 32 pounds caught in 1949.

In addition to your private dock or boat slip, surrounding communities offer watercraft rentals that get you out on the water in something other than your own vessel. Everything from jet skis and ski boats to pontoon boats, sailboats and kayaks can be had for venturing out and playing on Idaho’s largest lake.
