Idaho


 For seaplaners, Idaho is like "Alaska without the bugs," with the state welcoming pilots to the Northwest. North Idaho features the awe-inspiring 1150 foot deep Lake Pend Oreille, the mountainous Priest Lakes and the home of the famous Floating Green golf course, Lake Coeur D Alene.

 

More than fifty lakes and numerous mountain streams make this a fun region to view wildlife and to splash-in for camping, hiking, or fishing. Sandy beaches and docks are perfect to tie up for dining, lodging, and even golfing.

Significant bodies of water that are open include:

Coeur D'Alene Lake

Palisades Reservoir (On 9/11/15 the office staff at Idaho Bureau of Reclamation informed SPA that both Mike Beus, BOR Water Manager, and Jerry Cheek, BOR Operations and Maintenance Manager, confirmed that seaplanes are allowed on Palisades Reservoir, no restrictions.) UPDATE: 9/16/15 BOR Assistant Mngr. Roland Springer suggest we contact Caribou Targhee National Forest District Ranger, we are waiting on a call back to us.
