2017 Map of Priest Lake NE

About this map

Priest Lake dominates the central landscape of this northern Idaho survey, where the water is punctuated by Twin Islands and several prominent bays. The rugged shoreline within Kaniksu National Forest features distinctive landmarks such as Tripod Point and Canoe Point, while the northern reaches connect via The Thorofare toward Armstrong Meadows. The terrain rises sharply from the water's edge toward high peaks like Klootch Mtn and Goblin Knob, defining a landscape where access is primarily limited to forest roads like E Shore Rd and Lakeshore. This mapping shows the distribution of private development in coves like Huckleberry Bay and Bear Creek Bay, reflecting the seasonal and recreational use of the forest lands. Numerous drainage systems including Lion Cr and Two Mouth Cr feed the lake, highlighting the intricate watershed of the Idaho Panhandle.
