Elevation2113 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryLake Pend Oreille drops over 1,200 feet in places, a glacial relic from the Ice Age surrounded by the Cabinet and Selkirk Mountain ranges. Tall shade trees (fir, cedar, and pine) cover most campsites, filtering sunlight onto the forest floor. The campground sits along the Pend Oreille River system with shoreline access for swimming and boating. Views extend across the water to distant peaks, though the lake's real drama lies beneath the surface, where crystal-clear depths hold ancient secrets.

Lodging & AccommodationsSpringy Point does not offer formal lodging such as cabins or a lodge. Accommodations are limited to campsites and a day-use shelter that can be reserved.
