About Us:
The population of Pend Oreille County is approximately 12,000, leaving ample space for wildlife to thrive. There are 55 lakes, thousands of acres of forest, and mountains climbing to heights of 7,300 feet. The county is a magnet for those who enjoy the outdoors, and everywhere are scenes that catch the eye. Throughout the county, students of history can explore old mines, logging camps, pioneer homes, and historical buildings. Deer, elk, black bear, mountain goat, caribou, bighorn sheep, mountain lion, moose and even grizzly bear make the mountains and valleys their home. The Pend Oreille River and the County's many lakes are a natural habitat for a variety of game fish as well as the bald eagle, osprey, geese, duck and heron.
