Priest lake is nice but we stayed away because it's loaded with people.On one trip my wife counted license plates,Washington plates outnumbered Idaho by a 2-1 margin..Spokane is like 39 miles from Coeurdalene and the people from Washington come over in droves.
Up the CDA river from Kingston up is nice with lots of dispersed camping..There is like 7 lakes between Rose lake and St. Maries to fish with some camping and my personal favorite is Wallace to Avery over moon pass and I won't say publicly anymore about that area.Avery up the St Joe river is pretty awesome and lot's of wildlife.
I used to work at the Linfor sawmill up the CDA pulling green chain years ago and lived at Rose lake/Kingston/Silverton and up the CDA river...Lots of high mountain lakes to explore but with a TC I am not sure how they are anymore..Glidden lakes and Elsie were two of my favorites.
I enjoyed my time in that area before it became a boom area and the population exploded.The only reason I would go back for a short stay is huckleberries..Second to none and the fishing isn't bad.
Good luck and have fun in North Idaho.
