Lake Pend Oreille is one of the deepest freshwater lakes in North America. According to resident Skip Pucci, 80 percent of the lake is over 1,000 feet deep.
“It’s the thirteenth largest body of fresh water by volume in the world,” he proudly told “Good Morning America.”
The towering cliffs surrounding the lake are called The Green Monarchs, named after a copper mine.
“They rise out of the water here about 4,000 feet and they go down into the lake over 1,000 feet deep,” Skip said. “And they are very majestic.”
The area’s beauty is not found just in the landscape, however, but also in the wildlife which inhabits it. Deepest lake in north america
