Mountain Breezes On Lake Pend Oreille Mountain breezes blow across the beautiful Lake Pend Oreille. This beautiful lake was formed years ago by huge magnificent glaciers that melted. The water then flowed toward the Pacific Ocean. Some of the water pooled at the bottom of these spectacular mountains. and Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho's largest lake, came into being. These glaciers provide the source of many of the breezes that come down off the mountain. They form cooling mountain breezes for the shores of Lake Pend Oreille and surrounding Sand Point, Idaho. Summers on the lake are pleasant and hardly a day passes without mountain breezes. Sandpoint is a charming small town on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille. It is known for its art festivals, and summers are a buzz of activity on the lake. There are many places to camp along the shores. Boaters and Kayakers love to explore its coves. Hikers enjoy the three mountains that keep Sandpoint nestled among their hills. The summers are hot, but you are rewarded most days with cool mountain breezes. Water skiing, Biking, horseback riding, and boating, are just a few of the summer sports enjoyed in Sandpoint. http://www.sandpoint.com/Recreation/summeractivities.asp (Summer Activities) Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy the hunting and fishing in the area.

The shallow parts of the lake freeze over and fishermen can ice fish during the heart of winter. Warm clothes are a top priority! Dressing in layers is the best way to assure that you will be warm. Heavy soled waterproof boots, good insulated heavy overalls, gloves, a wide scarf, and hats are all a must when ice fishing. These cool mountain breezes blow all year, making the lake a winter playground. Winters in Idaho are usually cold, with lots of activities available in the ice and snow. Ice fishing is one of those special treats for winter fun. Some of the most common fish found in the winter are Perch and Trout. Bluegill, Kokanee and Crappie are also in the realm of possibilities. Be sure to check the ice depth before going out on the lake. An average man of 175 pounds needs at least 3-4 inches of solid ice. A snow machine needs at least 8 inches of solid ice. Never go out on the lake alone. The buddy system works great for safety. Plan ahead and be safe!
