Lake Pend Oreille at your doorstep
Idaho’s largest and deepest lake is perfect for boating, paddling, swimming, fishing, and relaxing by the shore. It’s a natural playground for families who love being outside.

TRANSIT
Navigating to your lakeside retreat is straightforward. Here's a quick guide to help you plan your journey:
Parking: A parking lot is provided directly at the float home, ensuring ease and convenience upon your arrival.
Air Travel: Spokane International Airport (GEG) is the nearest major airport, about a 90-minute drive from Bayview. We recommend renting a car for the most flexibility in exploring the beautiful surroundings.
Public Transportation: Public transportation is limited in Bayview. Driving is the most practical way to get around and discover the local attractions and the stunning landscapes of Lake Pend Oreille. Enjoy the freedom of the open road!
