Lake Pend Oreille (Ponderay)
Lake Pend Oreille is one of the largest and deepest natural lakes in North America. Spanning near 150 square miles, it extends through a glacially carved, U-shaped valley that separates three lofty mountain ranges-the Cabinets, Selkirks and Coeur d′ Alenes. Rimmed by these mountains that rise over 6,500 feet, the lake′s average depth is 545 feet, but in some areas plunges to a depth of 1,237 feet.
The shoreline of the combined Lake Pend Oreille and the Pend Oreille River is 226 miles. It′s length 68 miles, with a maximum width of 6 ½ miles.
The name “Pend Oreille” derives from the French name for a local tribe of Indians that wore pendant ornaments in their earlobes.
