| LAKE PEND OREILLE You might visit the area for another reason, but you'll find this amazing lake becoming the focal point of your vacation. The lake offers tremendous natural beauty, abundant outdoor recreational opportunities, and great historical interest. LAKE TOUR ON THE SHAWNODESE We toured the lake on the Shawnodese charter boat from the marina at Sandpoint's City Beach Park. We enjoyed the views of the water, nearby boats, the surrounding mountains, fancy lakeside houses, and even a passing freight train on the railroad bridge. What's amazing about the tour is that you are only seeing a small part of the lake: its northwestern arm. The lake snakes around for 65 miles with many branches. Lake Pend Oreille Cruises FARRAGUT STATE PARK This park at the southern tip of the lake was named for Admiral Farragut. During WWII it was the site of a major naval base for training submariners. The southern end of the lake is nearly 1,200 feet deep, allowing for training in safety from enemy action. Repeated ice age floods would burst through a glacial dam at the eastern edge of the lake, digging this great trench and sweeping over eastern Washington, creating Dry Falls and other geologic features. Of the 400 buildings that once stood on the base, only the former brig remains: now a museum and worth a visit. Our favorite feature of the park is the Beaver Bay swimming area - a narrow enclosed bay safe for kids to swim about in. More about Farragut State Park CITY BEACH PARK This is the focal point of the waterfront of the town of Sandpoint. It's a wonderful park on a peninsula jutting out into the lake with a sandy beach, swimming area with life guards, playground, tennis courts, and marina.

We enjoyed the trail leading south from Sandpoint along highway 95 to Sagle - 5 miles away. The northern end of this trail crosses Lake Pend Oreille on the Long Bridge. The southern end passes by pretty farmland backed by wooded hills. North Idaho Bikeways is a community organization working to expand the bike trail network emanating from Sandpoint.
