About this map

The eastern shores of Priest Lake in Kaniksu National Forest are defined by a complex shoreline of deep bays and prominent points. Significant mountain terrain rises sharply from the water, including the high peaks of the Selkirk Mountains and the distinct summit of Roothaan Mtn. The landscape is etched with steep drainages such as Horton Cr and S Fork Hunt Cr, while Camels Prairie provides a unique high-elevation opening in the dense forest cover.

Settlement and infrastructure are concentrated along the lakeside, particularly at the southern end near Sherwood Beach and the Cavanaugh Bay Airport. Local specialized land use is evident at the Priest Lake Incubation Channels and the various recreational access points. Transport follows the shoreline on Eastshore Rd and Cavanaugh Bay Rd, providing access to isolated landmarks like Pinto Point and the quiet waters of Indian Creek Bay.
