About Lake Pend Oreille

The shoreline communities around Lake Pend Oreille, from Sagle and Garfield Bay to Hope and the east shore, hold waterfront homes, cabins, and acreage on Idaho's largest lake.

  • Lake frontage and dock access
  • Hope and Garfield Bay
  • Close to Sandpoint

Our take

Idaho's biggest lake, and the shoreline varies enormously from Sagle to Hope. Access, water rights, and road maintenance deserve as much attention as the house.
