Hike and Swim
In the lush forest just outside of Priest Lake, you’ll find a perfectly formed, natural water slide, set at just the right angle for endless hours of summer fun. Just grab a trash bag (with foam on the inside if you want a little padding), lean back, and let the current carry you!
More Information
Be courteous, informed, and prepared. Read trailhead guidelines, stay on the trail, and don't feed the wildlife.
