Lake Pend Oreille offers over 200 miles of beautiful fresh water shoreline and stretches over 42 miles from Bayview to Sandpoint. You can indulge your adventurous side with water sports including fishing, boating, water skiing and swimming. If you don’t want to get your feet wet, there are plenty of other attractions including camping, hiking and exploring, biking and great hunting in the fall.

Farragut State Park, nestled at the foot of the Coeur d'Alene Mountains in the Bitterroot Range, is just 4 miles to the west of Bayview. At 4,000 acres, it is one of Idaho's largest state parks and borders Lake Pend Oreille.
