Priest Lake is a scenic mountain lake offering access to both the main lake and the remote Upper Priest Lake via a two-mile thoroughfare accessible only by boat, foot, or mountain bike. Paddlers and boaters will find two nearby reservable boat-in campgrounds—Bartoo Island and Kalispell Island—ideal for overnight trips. The area is known for fishing, swimming, hiking, and recreational paddling, with the lake situated 30 miles south of the Canadian border in beautiful North Idaho backcountry.
