The lake is located at the southernmost edge of the Selkirk Mountains in Kootenai County and it's situated in the Western Selkirk Maritime Forest of Idaho. When full, the 625-acre lake is a peaceful recreational area for boaters, anglers, water skiers, canoeists, and swimmers. The lake was formed from ancient floods with glacial debris and damming streams. The shoreline is mostly developed with private residences, vacation rentals, and fishing opportunities. Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, black crappie, yellow perch, walleye, and bluegill are stocked in the water. Daily launch fees here cost $4 - $8.00, and it offers docks, swimming beach, picnic tables, pumpout, toilets, running water, breakwater, and parking.
