Natural Features Lake Pend Oreille is a glacier-carved lake surrounded by scenic mountains in the northern Idaho Panhandle. It is one of the largest and deepest natural lakes in the western United States with depths plunging more than 1,200 ft., in some areas. The area around the Lake is the traditional home of the Kalispell Indians. French settlers named the area "Pend Oreille," which means "ear pendant," after observing the large shell earrings worn by the Kalispell people. Nearby Attractions The Albeni Falls Visitor Center features exhibits on the history of the dam and the natural features of the area, with tours of the dam given Saturdays during the summer.
