Boat trailer behind the truck, coffee in the cup holder, out the driveway and on the water in about twenty minutes. The Bayview marinas sit at the south end of Pend Oreille, deep water and public launches, and Farragut State Park’s launch is a shorter drive still.
For a homesite in an inland state that does not touch water, twenty minutes to a real lake with real depth is a serious asset. The days you do not go out you can still see it from the ridge above Clagstone on a clear afternoon.
