Float Houses
There are roughly 100 of these historical floating homes located on the Southwest end of Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho.
The "Floating Village" at Bayview has been its own community for over 100 years. The original floating homes were simple fishing shacks used to shelter Kokanee salmon fishermen. As vacationing on the lake became more popular, more float homes appeared. The homes were decked out, spruced up, & are no longer as mobile as in the past. Thus, permanent docks stretch into the bay from the shoreline and the homes are connected to the city's main systems.
