These lakes in Northern Idaho are massive, and Priest Lake is no exception. The Priest Lake State Park is a popular place in the summer. The lake is 300 ft deep and 19 miles long, and drop dead gorgeous. There are hundreds of places to explore from this area. One of the most popular ones is the Lionshead Natural Waterslide. Take a ride down a gently sloping, smooth granite surface. There is a catch line close to the bottom of the natural slide. Don't miss the catchline because the water drops below a massive rock at the bottom. Take something to slide on and enjoy one of Mother Nature's natural wonders. As always, leave no trace, leave it better than you found it, and enjoy 😉.

Gorgeous place! Clean camp spot and fire pit. Great parking, water right by our spot, and the lake is amazing! The only bad thing I can say is the toilets right by spot 126 were really stinky, I could hardly go in there for # 1, I had to hold my breath. The bathrooms by the day use beach, however, were amazing! Clean, smelling good, and more lit up inside.

Heaven on earth. As good as an exotic beach but closer to home and less expensive.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Love it here. I only wish the campsites weren't on top of each other.
