Garfield Bay was once known as Midas and a holiday in its vacation rentals will make you believe that it indeed received the Midas touch as its scenic beauty is no less than gold! This calm town lies at the center of the western shore of Lake Pend Oreille and provides an ideal setting for a relaxed vacation amid mesmerizing lush greenery, mountains and lake waters.
Garfield Bay is a fisher’s paradise where you can cast a line for the big fish that Lake Pend Oreille offers in plenty including the exotic kamloop and rainbow trout. The marina’s public jetty has a boat launch and a boat ride to nearby Sandpoint will make for a fun day-trip. The Forest Service maintains a campground and swimming area in the bay center where you can picnic through the day. And with a scarcely dense population, non-commercial environ, the waterfront cottage houses and other vacation rentals of Garfield Bay promise an unmatched tranquility.
Indulging in fishing and water sports apart, the town’s interesting history will amaze you – how it once was settled as a mining town but had no ore and led the investors to jail the settler! Natural beauty does not rob it of basic amenities that are provided by a few but sufficient grocery and convenience stores. Recreation or carefree leisure, Garfield Bay vacation rentals are all you need to enjoy Lake Pend Oreille’s pristine beauty at its natural best.
