Upper Bernard Lake is the closest significant lake to the Snake River in the Seven Devils National Wilderness, Idaho County, Idaho, USA. Interestingly, Upper Bernard Lake is 2.6 miles (horizontally, east) from the Snake River in Hells Canyon but it's over a mile higher (5,955 ft) than the river. Upper Bernard Lake is about half a mile east of Dry Diggins Lookout, where one can look 6,500 feet down into Hells Canyon (the deepest canyon on Earth) and see the Snake River wandering like a thin line in the canyon bottom.
Upper Bernard Lake is about 770 feet long and 280 feet wide with a shoreline distance of 2,200 feet.

Idaho is a state located in the northwestern region of the United States of America. Idaho is the 14th largest state by area, ranks 39th by population and 53rd by population density of the 50 United States. Idaho was the 43rd state to be admitted into the Union, on July 3, 1890. Idaho is landlocked, being bordered by Canada on the north and the states of Washington and Oregon on the west, Nevada and Utah on the south and Montana and Wyoming on the east. Idaho is nicknamed "The Gem State" because nearly every known gemstone is found within the state. Idaho is also famous for producing about one third of all potatoes grown in the USA. Idaho also hosts the largest barrel cheese factory in the world, producing 120K metric tons of cheese per year. There is some ambiguity as to where the name "Idaho" came from, but it is generally believed to have simply been made up by George M. Willing. There is a possibility it was derived from a Native American phrase. Idaho is very mountainous and is a popular outing destination of the outdoorsman. The state population was about 1.58M in July 2011 with 84% being Caucasian, 11.2% Hispanic and 1.1% Native American. The state capital and largest city is Boise.Source: wikipedia
