About

State Park

The Pend Oreille WMA consists of 25 discontinuous parcels of land scattered along the edges of Lake Pend Oreille, the Pend Oreille River, Pack River, Clark Fork Delta, Priest River and additional nearby waters. The properties range in size from 2 acres to 1,729 acres. Map: https://idfg.idaho.gov/sites/default/files/wma-map-r1-pend-oreille-2019.pdf

Public facilities are available but scattered across this sprawling WMA. Paved roads provide access to the WMA properties. Once on the WMA, all travel is non-motorized. Mowed maintenance trails on some segments provide paths for foot travel, biking, skiing and other non-motorized means of travel.

Great View

Love looking at the mountains. It’s close to get back on HWY, there is noise but not horrible. Only 2 other campers when we came through but there’s a few open sections to have some space in between. Porta potty is well kept. Boat launch with dock and another without. At least one rock fire pit available. There are lots of cicadas to listen to in the brush, some mosquitoes and other lake bugs flying around, so be ready.

Good place to boat, not to camp

There is a pit toilet and a boat ramp here. Camping is ‘t great, there is no privacy and it is very open! If you are here early enough in the year, there is a risk of flooding. The log jam is a good spot to bird watch. This is a good spot for recreating but not overnight camping!

Basic gravel parking lot overnight

This is a parking lot on a gravel road very close to the highway along Lake Pend Oreille's eastern shore. There is a boat launch. It is where the Clark Fork River empties into the Lake. It is managed by the Pend Oreille Wildlife Management Area office - the "Panhandle" office. It is free and first come, first served. Good for an overnight stay or day use, but NOT a full on campground at all.
