Geology

Hayden Lake, like

Clark Fork river. The impounded river repeatedly filled to form Glacial Lake Missoula and broke through the ice dam, resulting in massive floods that filled the Rathdrum Prairie area with sand, gravel, and boulders.[6] Large eddy bars formed downstream from bedrock obstructions, thereby damming tributary
valleys and creating lakes.

History

Log cabins at Hayden Lake, circa 1910

The Coeur D’Alene tribe territory centered around what is now Hayden Lake and nearby Lake Coeur d'Alene, gathering plants, including abundant huckleberries, fish and wildlife. The first white man to visit the area was Father DeSmet while serving as a missionary to the Coeur d’Alene Indians. While visiting, he named it Lake DeNuf and recorded several stories told by the local tribe about the lake and the surrounding area.[7][8]

Hayden Lake's natural beauty attracted several wealthy people in the early 1900s. The

F. Lewis Clark Mansion was built in 1910, and was the most expensive home in Idaho at the time. In 1914, Lewis mysteriously disappeared and was never seen or heard from again.[9] In 1907, the Hayden Lake Country Club became a gathering place for many area socialites, such as Bing Crosby. A railway expansion made travel easy from nearby Spokane. HLCC opened the first 18-hole golf course in the state of Idaho in 1912.[10]

From the 1970s until 2001, the neo-Nazi

Richard Butler turned the compound over to the Keenans, who then sold the property to a philanthropist who subsequently donated it to North Idaho College, which designated the land as a "peace park".[13][14]
