About us
Juniper Wake Lodge is a fictional, family-operated demonstration host on Lake Pend Oreille. The team welcomes small groups for paddling, trail days, and quiet weekends by the water. Seasonal crew rotate through clear stations, share a staff meal after the evening turn, and have two consecutive days off whenever the operating calendar allows.
