    Bring your Kayak, canoe or boat to across the waters of Sullivan Lake or traverse a stretch of the Pend Oreille River (which contributes to almost half of the water in the Columbia River).

   Hunting, Fishing, climbing, hiking, and more await your trip to North Pend Orielle County and did we mention, Canada (Castlegar, Trail, Nelson & more) or just up the road for day trips.
