Remember the lake and surrounds have a unique feel; it is "Sensational in All Seasons." Come and check us out! Sincerely, Teri Hill and Maggie Drummond Co-Coordinators T hank you for taking the time to select Priest Lake as your destination. It is one of the most beautiful spots on earth, just a little area in Northern Idaho that packs a punch full of adventure and endless opportunities for outdoor experiences. Priest Lake is where memories are formed that last a lifetime. I hear that all the time, people stating, we used to camp here when we were kids, or grandpa and grandma had a cabin we would stay at all summer, or my family has come snowmobiling here for 40 years. Many of you have been coming to the lake for years, but there are always new visitors each season scouting the area for the first time. This Visitors Guide presents articles on Priest Lake traditions, adventure opportunities and stories of local interest for your enjoyment. I hope this information is valuable to you as you plan your stay at the Lake. This guide also represents the local business at the Lake. Take time for a drive around the area, visit the local shops and eateries, you’ll find something different at every stop. Enjoy the scenery, the wildlife, spend time with family and make memories of your own at beautiful Priest Lake. Thank you for visiting.
