Fun Run on Lake Pend Orielle

Lake Pend Oreille is Idaho’s biggest lake, at 43 miles long with 111 miles of shoreline. It’s also the deepest (at 1,158 feet deep, there are only four deeper lakes in the nation). Dug out by Ice Age glaciers and located amid three major frontal ranges of the northern Rocky Mountains, the lake offers an abundance of beauty. This is an event you do not want to miss! Come join us and make memories that will last a lifetime.

What is a Fun Run?

Welcome to our 4th annual event! We are excited to share one of our favorite lakes with you this summer. The Pend Orielle Fun Run is an event where boating enthusiasts will travel the lake visiting restaurants and stores at specified locations to collect cards for a poker hand. Prizes will be awarded for the best hands at dinner following the event.

All proceeds will be donated to the Rayce Rudeen Foundation & 50/50 raffle to Bonner County marine Division

The Rayce Rudeen Foundation’s mission is to help support organizations and programs that encourage a healthy and productive life, free from addiction. Bonner County marine Division is on a mission to educate boat enthusiasts of the rules and safety of Idaho waterways. If you have not taken a course, we highly recommend it. Even the most experienced boater will gain knowledge from the course.
