It is 69 kilometres long, and 1,152 feet deep in some regions, making it the fifth-deepest in the nation and having a volume of 43,939,940 acre feet = 54 km. The lake is fed by the Clark Fork River and the Pack River, and drains into the Pend Oreille River, as well as subsurfacely into the Spokane Valley–Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer.
