Boating: Boating on Lake Pend Oreille is such an amazing experience. It’s the biggest lake in Idaho, so there's plenty of space to explore. You can take your boat out and cruise around the peaceful bays and inlets, or even head out into the deep blue waters. There are marinas in places like Sandpoint and Bayview where you can easily launch your boat or rent one if you don't have your own. And the views are just incredible – you've got the mountains and forests all around, and the water is so clear. Plus, you often see ospreys and bald eagles flying overhead. It's perfect whether you're sailing, motor boating, or just relaxing on a pontoon. Honestly, it's hard to beat for a day out on the water.
Fishing: The lake is known for its great fishing spots, and you can catch a variety of fish like trout, bass, and even salmon. People come from all over for the fishing tournaments and just to enjoy a day on the water. The best part is, the lake is so big and has so many different areas to fish, whether you prefer the deep waters or the quieter bays. And there's nothing quite like the feeling of catching a big one with the beautiful scenery around you – the mountains, the clear water, and sometimes even spotting wildlife. It's really peaceful and exciting at the same time. Definitely a must-do if you're into fishing.
Hiking: There are so many trails with amazing views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. Farragut State Park has some really nice ones, and if you head up to Schweitzer Mountain, you get these breathtaking panoramic views. The trails vary from easy walks to more challenging hikes, so there's something for everyone. Plus, the scenery is just gorgeous – forests, wildflowers, and often some local wildlife like deer and birds. It’s really a perfect way to spend a day, getting some exercise and soaking in the natural beauty of the area. You should definitely check it out if you love hiking.
