Elkins Resort and Priest Lake tucked away in the Panhandle of northern Idaho. The geographic location brings very distinct seasons. Priest Lake is fortunate to have a true Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.
Winter brings plenty of snow for snowmobiling and cross country skiing and you might find yourself relaxing by the fire after a day of playing in the snow.
Spring at Priest Lake is a time of awakening with the rebirth of thousands of varieties of plant and mushroom life. The forest around Elkins Resort is loaded with many different types of mushrooms, some of which are used in our restaurant.
Summer brings temperatures into the 80's and 90's and the lake bustles with activity. Go for a hike or take a slow boat ride to Upper Priest Lake. Summer is the busiest month for tourism at Priest Lake and there are plenty of outdoor activities and secluded places to get in touch with nature.
Autumn golds show in the mountain tamaracks and the temperatures are still very pleasant. Many consider Autumn to be their favorite time of year at Priest Lake and Elkins Resort.
