Do you like fishing? How about fishing in the mountains surrounded by forests and killer campgrounds? Well then you’re gonna love Dworshak Reservoir; it not only houses the largest steelhead trout hatchery in the states, it also has killer views and an impressive dam. If fishing isn’t your thing, you’re still in luck as there’s plenty of hiking and biking trails throughout the forest, as well as a sick swimming beach and water galore to bring your sailboat or try your hand at water skiing and tubing. Camping is steps away from water views too. Dworshak is sure to become a quick favorite; nothing fishy about it!

It doesn’t get much prettier than the Idaho panhandle. Situated between Big Sky Country of Montana and the vibrant evergreen fields of Washington (which seriously look Photoshopped to the naked eye), this forest holds more than half the state’s surface waters, and wilderness vibes are guaranteed by the deer, elk, bear, caribou, and wolf populations who call this spot home. Moist maritime air comes in from the Pacific coast, and historic cabins dot the landscape. Near Spokane and the border can get busy on the weekends, but with this much acreage you can always find seclusion here. Make sure to check out at least a portion of the bikeable and walkable Hiawatha Trail—weaving 15 miles through tunnels and across high steel trestles in the Bitterroot Mountains, it’s been called one of the most scenic stretches of railroad in the country.
