Twin Lakes Reservoir

About Twin Lakes Reservoir

The landscape of the Twin Lakes in northern Idaho is nothing to be mocked about, lush mountains rise on both sides of a crystal clear lake, white-tailed eagles towering over the banks and the shore teeming with wildlife. We have done some wildlife watching, gone out on water skiing and have more than a few amazing memories, but the unforgettable water is the most memorable part of our trip to Twin Lake, Idaho.

Twin Lakes is located in the Twin Lakes National Park in northern Idaho, USA, north of Boise, Idaho. The lake consists of two waters, the upper and the lower, and each lake has a narrow channel (10 feet) that connects it to a lower lake, with a maximum depth of 60 feet. It covers 500 hectares and had a maximum depth of 20 feet, but has an average depth of 30 feet and in some areas at least 15 feet.

The dam at the lake, which belongs to Rathdrum, was built in 1909 and is used to regulate the water level for irrigation and drinking water.

Although the Twin Lakes stay cool most of the year, this does not stop visitors and residents from enjoying the water and beautiful surroundings. In the upper, lower and middle part of the lake there are public boat moorings and visitors can be seen racing across the water. In summer, kayakers and canoeists can move around the lake, keeping to the densely wooded coastline.

If you are interested in activities on the surface of Twin Lake, there are many places you can visit if you are interested. Here there are fishermen and you can try your hand at fishing and boating on the glittering surface of the lake.

If you find satisfaction in ice fishing, you don't have to worry that the summer season might be short. You can go all the way until the surface has solidified into a thick layer of ice and you find yourself satisfied.
