About Priest Lake
Priest Lake lies in the far north of the Idaho panhandle, about 19 miles long and up to 369 feet deep, with Upper Priest Lake connected by a two-mile thoroughfare that no motor can hurry through. The water is famously clear and the shoreline is largely national and state forest, with old cedar groves and the Selkirk crest behind it.
Coolin at the south end and Nordman on the west side are the settlements; Hill's Resort, Elkins and the Kalispell Island campgrounds are how most people know it. The lake was named for the Jesuit missions of the 1840s.
