About This Access Site
**Location & Facilities**
Morton Slough is an Idaho Fish and Game fishing and boating access site located on the southern shoreline of the Pend Oreille River near Sagle, at the intersection of Lakeshore Drive and Dufort Road. The site features a boat launch, dock, and restroom facilities. Recently improved amenities include approximately 30 boat and trailer parking spaces, 10 single-vehicle parking spaces, and 2 ADA-accessible parking spaces, making it a well-equipped option for launching.

**Boating & Paddling**
This access point provides entry to the Pend Oreille River and Lake Pend Oreille, a 65-mile water body that stretches through a glacially carved valley behind Albeni Falls Dam. The site is particularly popular with anglers but welcomes kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. The calm, scenic character of the impounded waters makes this a suitable access point for paddlers of various skill levels. Several other public boat launches are available along the river and lake for exploring the broader Pend Oreille system.
