DESCRIPTION:
Priest Lake has been described as the “GEM” of Idaho. After your first visit, you will agree. The lower lake is inhabited by thousands of people in the summer, and a virtual desert in the winter. The lower lake is 369’ deep. There are four islands on the lake, with one that is public, with 11 designated camp sites, and a few pit toilets scattered among them. PLEASE USE THE PIT TOILETS WHEN YOU NEED TO DO YOUR BUSINESS. WE ALL WILL APPRECIATE IT.
Kalispell Island Trail #49 is 2.5 miles long, and circumnavigated the island. On the SW side of the island is a host cabin.
