Patios that put out a water bowl without being asked. Trails that don't require leashes when nobody's looking. Breweries with a yard. Beaches off-season.
Three units spread along the lake: Indian Creek, mid-lake, is the largest, with a boat ramp, docks, camping, and wide sandy beaches; Lionhead, at the north end, has its own beach and boat dock; Dickensheet, along the Priest River below the outlet, is small but good for wading and fishing.
