Idaho’s Largest Lake

Lake Pend Orielle is Idaho’s largest lake. Surrounded by lush trees and snow-topped mountains, a day on the water, or its shore, makes for an idyllic time. Lake Pend Oreille gives views to towns such as Sandpoint, Hope and Lake View. It can be seen from the Pend Oreille Scenic Byway and State Highway 200.
