Priest River is a small town that enjoys clean air, clear water, and plenty of recreational opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast. It's a town where the people smile and greet one another in parking lots, at the post office, and in the stores. This is small town America. Priest River is one of Idaho's best kept secrets. Centrally located in a recreation paradise, nestled in the Selkirk Mountain Range, it is bordered by the Priest River on the east and the Pend Oreille River on the south. We are also a stop on the Panhandle Historic Rivers Passage Scenic Byway, and part of the International Selkirk Loop.
