Lake Cocolalla is a scenic lake and quiet waterfront community located in Bonner County, Idaho, just south of Sandpoint along U.S. Highway 95.

Anglers enjoy a diverse fishery that includes rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, brown trout, bass, catfish, and perch, adding to Lake Cocolalla’s appeal for both residents and visitors.
