Buttonhook Bay

Lake Pend Orielle, Idaho, part of Farragut State Park. Buttonhook Bay is on the left, Beaver Bay swimming hole is on the right.

Buttonhook Bay lies on the southern shores of the biggest and deepest lake in Idaho; Lake Pend Oreille (pronounced – Pond-o-ray). It is located in the North Idaho Panhandle, approximately 100 miles south of the Canadian border, about 30 miles north of Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho and about 30 miles south of Sandpoint, Idaho (which is the intersection of U.S. Highway 95 and State Highway 54) and then east on Highway 54 another eight miles, through Farragut State Park.

    That is what took my breath away when I took this photograph. This is my favorite park to hike and camp at.
