Williams and Parsons, CPA's PCWe are a local CPA firm, located in Sandpoint, Idaho and work and live in some of the most beautiful country in the Northwest. Lake Pend Oreille is famous for its beauty, size and depth. There are over 26 square miles of lake that is over 1000 feet deep. The deepest point is about 1,150 feet. Lake Pend Oreille owes its dramatic beauty to the enormous mountain glaciers that marched down from Canada during the ice ages of the last million years. The ice plowed through the Purcell Trench carving out an enormous depression for the 1,152 foot deep lake.
