Welcome to
the Priest River Yacht Club
Priest River Idaho Yacht Club
is located on beautiful Lake Pend Oreille in the northern Idaho
Panhandle, with a surface area of 148 square miles. It is 65 miles
(105 km) long, and 1,150 feet (350 m) deep in some regions, making
it the fifth deepest in the United States. It is fed by the Clark
Fork River and the Pack River, and drains via the Pend Oreille
River. It is surrounded by national forests and a few small towns,
with the largest population on the lake at Sandpoint. All but the
southern tip of the lake is in Bonner County. The southern tip is in
Kootenai County and is home to Farragut State Park, formerly the "Farragut
Naval Training Station" during World War II.
PRIYC was founded in 1950 to
promote boaters safety as well as family, and friends boating enjoyment..
