| FARRAGUT STATE PARK This is a place of tremendous natural beauty and great historic interest. It also has a museum so ugly it is almost funny. The park sits on a southern arm of beautiful Lake Pend Oreille. The legend is that Eleanor Roosevelt overflew it and recalled this lake when the need arose to find a safe place to train submarine crews. A sprawling submarine training base was consequently built during WWII - far inland and safe from attack. Out of the hundreds of buildings erected during the war, only the former brig (naval prison) remains, which now houses the museum. The best feature of the park on a hot day is the protected Beaver Bay swimming area. A small peninsula forms one side of the bay and provides great views of the lake and steep hills beyond. The surrounding pine forest provides shade. Farragut State Park Website Farragut State Park Map Photo Album by Bob Kelly http://www.BobsPacificBeachHouse.com |
