Lake Pend O’Reille Dinner Menu

At 148 square miles, Lake Pend O’Reille is huge, so it is probably impossible to know where this particular photo was taken. The menu card spells the name with an apostrophe; it is usually spelled without one today. Like yesterday’s menu, the scans for this one were contributed by Jake Barker.

Lake Pend Oreille is fed by the Clark Fork River, which flows through Missoula. Sometimes for fun I ask my Missoula friends, “What is the Clark Fork River a fork of?” They will usually say the Columbia. But the Clark Fork doesn’t flow into the Columbia; it flows into Lake Pend Oreille, and then a river called the Pend Oreille River flows from the lake to the Columbia, so technically the Clark Fork is a fork of the Pend Oreille River.

Out of curiosity, I wondered how other people pronounce the name and one web site came up with “pend a royal.” Wikipedia says “pond e-ray,” which is how I’ve always heard it. Pend Oreille has nothing to do with royals; instead, Google translates it as “hanging ear.” Wikipedia says the name refers to the pendents that local Native Americans hung from their ears, plus the lake itself looks a little like an ear from the air.
