Roundhouse on Lake Coeur d' Alene:
Lake Coeur' Alene is one of Idaho's largest lakes. Visitors can actually spend their entire time exploring the lake from the north end where the Roundhouse is located and cruising 35 south to the headwaters of the Coeur d' Alene River and further south to Harrison, ID and St Maries, ID. Scenic drives also offer photo opportunities around the lake. From June until about September, the lake temperature is in the 70'SF, very clear off the end of the dock and most refreshing even for evening swims. Fall and Winter abound with activities in the Lake Coeur d' Alene area. Eagle watching is a favorite viewing pleasure while seated in the living room and looking across the lake. Salmon fishing and the associated derbies take place right off the private beach and dock. The dock is usable during winter months also for the hearty fishing types.
Summer at the Lake:
Activities abound with boating and water sports on the lake. Watercraft (sailboats, motor, sailing, wave runners, kayaks, canoes, etc) rentals, lake cruises and parasailing are only 5 minutes away from the Lake Roundhouse. Or, you can keep your boat (up to 20') and other water toys right on the dock. Mooring whips are available on the dock for good safekeeping of your boat. There is parking on the Roundhouse beach for 2 cars, as well as, parking for many more cars at Lake Steamers Landing - 100' from the Roundhouse beach. There are 19 public golf courses all within 1 to 11/2 hours from the Lake Roundhouse. Free music concerts weekly in the park only 2 miles from Roundhouse.
