Friends of Pend d’Oreille Bay Trail received a grant from the Idaho Fish & Wildlife Foundation that was used for the acquisition of a stretch of riparian habitat on the northern shoreline of Lake Pend d’ Oreille.

The acquisition helped to protect lakeshore habitat from future waterfront development and created a non-motorized, environmentally sustainable public trail that will connect three waterfront communities.

The acquisition of the 1.5-mile trail provides visitors and local residents safe public access to Idaho’s largest lake and an exceptional opportunity for people to experience its abundant fish and wildlife habitat firsthand.
