Pend Oreille County, Washington

Pend Oreille Location Map Washington

Pend Oreille County is way up in the northeast corner of Washington. It borders both Canada and Idaho. This county is a paradise for outdoorsy types. The Pend Oreille River flows through it with great fishing and boating.

It’s pronounced “pond-oh-ray,” by the way. Locals are proud of their rugged landscape. You’ll find some of the best huckleberry picking in the state here.

The county’s small towns have a friendly, laid-back vibe. Winters can be harsh, but the scenery is stunning under a blanket of snow. Keep an eye out for wildlife because moose sightings aren’t uncommon. It’s the kind of place where you can truly get away from it all.
