lakes

As we approach the end of summer, many of us Idahoans are excited to visit our state's most stunning lakes and enjoy some quality time with our friends...

Amid all the bodies of water in Idaho sits a world-famous lake with a hard-to-pronounce name and is counted among the deepest lakes in the nation.

For others that are not as experienced, there can be a learning curve, and there are some things to know when kayaking in the area.

It's not a matter of if potentially fatal algae blooms form in state waters, but when.

I don’t know about you, but deep water kinda freaks me out, so this was an interesting one to write about today! Idaho is home to some of the most beautiful nature this country has to offer, but did you know we’re also home to some of the deepest lakes? In fact, Lake Pend Oreille near Coeur d’Alene is actually in the Top 5 Deepest Lakes in The United States, according to WorldAtlas.

If you are looking for some places to go on a day trip, maybe go swimming or fishing, these lakes are perfect. They are close enough for a day trip and can be a lot of fun. These lakes are anywhere from 30 minutes to about 3 hours away.

One recommendation is to buy more expensive cloth masks.
