Farragut State Park

📌 Pend Oreille Lake Area 📍 47.951564,-116.603059 ⛰ 2,400 ft

Farragut State Park is located on the shore of Lake Pend Oreille and was originally established during world war II as a submarine training base. The size and depth of the lake made it an ideal location for training. However the navy wasn't prepared for the weather and many a sailor suffered from the extreme conditions. Eventually the land was donated to the State of Idaho for a state park and it is a wonderful park. Checkout the recreational opportunities.
