Deep Secrets:
Is the Navy Telling Idaho Residents a Whopper of a Fish Story?
By Patrick Huyghe
Lake Pend Oreille in northern Idaho, the world's 26th largest freshwater lake, is twice as deep as Scotland's fabled Loch Ness. As it turns out, it's almost as deep in monster lore, too, with its own reports of what is now known as the Pend Oreille "Paddler." Throw in WWII Nazis, rumors of nuclear subs and secret missile firings, and the Paddler's tale takes on some tortuous twists and turns. Patrick Huyghe tries to straighten it out...8

Big Depth
In fact, when we say our lake is deep, we mean it is deeper than the famous Loch Ness. The U.S. Navy didn't choose to test submarines at Lake Pend Oreille for nothing. It is even rumored that the Navy once lost a submarine in the deep, dark waters. At 1,158 feet deep, it's the fifth deepest lake in the nation. The Navy still continues to perform tests in Lake Pend Oreille from its research station at Bayview. And like Loch Ness, our lake is also reputedly the home of a large water monster, affectionately called Pend Oreille Paddler. Actually, the various sightings could be giant sturgeon, which historically reached lengths of 12 feet and longer, but doubts linger.

Site of a mysterious monster and top-secret sub testing, Idaho's Lake Pend Oreille is also a boater's paradise
For a half century, reports have persisted that a large, prehistoric monster resides in the deep, dark waters of Lake Pend Oreille (pronounced pond uh-ray), Idaho. Locals call it the Pend Oreille Paddler. Believers say the monster is serpentine in appearance.
Nonbelievers say it is nothing more than a sturgeon, a rather-ugly, but large, bottom-feeding fish.
One thing is certain: If Paddler does exist, the deep waters of Pend Oreille would make a good home for it. Approximately 1200 feet deep, it is twice the depth of Scotland's fabled Loch Ness. Pend Oreille is also the fifth deepest lake in the U.S.
Another monster theory has it that...
