Best lake in the greater PNW?

I'm not qualified to vote on this one, but Diablo Lake is pretty spectacular to look at.

Any of the big 3 in N Idaho are better than anything in WA or OR.

Pend Oreille is mammoth and so deep the navy tested subs there. Sandpoint is better in the winter but a solid lake town.

Lake CDA has the best parties from fancy CDA city in the north to redneck AF Harrison and Conklin Park in the south. 30 miles of booze. Fuck the Californians but most of them only show up for a week every summer.

Priest is the most pristine but it’s hard to get to and you’re not doing just a day trip. Three days is required. Don’t fuck around near John Stocktons compound and definitely don’t ask for his autograph.

The Throbber is biased toward Lake CDA but that’s more the personality of the people who have cabins there vs the other two. Hayden is where the beautiful people hang at the country club but the lake is too small. The two feed rivers are also a plus. It gets real remote real fast going up the CDA River and there’s usually Deliverance banjo music a few miles up the St Joe

We know lakes in the inland northwest. There’s a fuck ton of them. Diamond, Badger, Williams, Newman, Liberty, Loon, Hauser, Twin, Sacheen, too many to list. Something like 76 in a 100 mile radius of Spokane. Or 100 in 76 miles or 69 at One Shot Charlie’s (which could happen)

Lake Roosevelt should be on the list for WA lakes. Massive size which means it’s rarely crowded. And houseboats. Motherfucking houseboats just like the SEC.

And for the true lake aficionados, Kootenay in BC is the shit.
