Summer is right around the
corner and what better way to enjoy this rite of passage than cruising on the
Shawnodese. And on Saturday, June 2nd,
Lake Pend Oreille Cruises is offering their popular Clark Fork Cruise from 12 to 3 pm that
will benefit the Clark Fork Coalition. Linda Mitchell, First Mate and co-owner of
Lake Pend Oreille Cruises, says “Of the many beautiful places we visit while
cruising on Lake Pend Oreille, the Clark Fork Delta is my
absolute favorite for its stunning scenery, wildlife, and aura of mystery.”
Cost of the cruise is $38 per person and $36
for seniors 60 and over. Later in the afternoon from
3:30 to 5 pm, you can take an Island & Eagle Watching Tour for just $22/$20 per
person. 10% of all proceeds on Saturday
from ticket sales and food & beverage sales will go to
benefit the Clark Fork Coalition.
This
organization is made up of concerned
citizens of North Idaho and Western Montana who have been working to protect and restore the
Clark Fork watershed since 1985. 90% of
the water that feeds Lake Pend Oreille comes from the
Clark Fork River, so its health directly affects the health of our lake.
The Clark Fork Delta Cruise offers
spectacular views and cruises through a diverse wetland ecosystem. A history and geology talk are included and
lunch is offered from $3 to $7 per plate. Linda and her husband,
Captain Curtis Pearson, plan to dedicate one cruise day each month to a local charity where a portion
of the proceeds will be donated to a worthy cause.

reservation, please call Lake Pend Oreille Cruises at 208-255-5253.
