Priest River sits at the confluence of the Priest and Pend Oreille rivers. The Pend Oreille River is broad and perfect for boating downstream from Albeni Falls Dam.
If you don't turn north at Priest River and continue up to Priest Lake you'll be missing one of the most beautiful areas of Idaho. Actually two glacial lakes connected by a river, they draw visitors to hike the trails, boat on the water or bask in quiet solitude. Private resorts and campgrounds line the western shore while a state park lies on the eastern shore. In the winter the larger resorts cater to cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling.

An 1/4 mile interpretative trail leads through a grove of old-growth cedar trees between 200 and 800 years old. There is also the Roosevelt Grove of Ancient Cedars north of Priest Lake.

This lovely lakeside community is very popular in summer. Try a trip in early fall if you haven't booked in advance.

Serene is how many describe Priest Lake. No high-rises or fancy resorts - just lodges, cabins and campsites along the shore of one of the most beautiful lakes in Idaho.
