Less than an hour drive from any of the nearby cities lies the picturesque logging town of Spirit Lake, Idaho. The historic and scenic downtown is nestled between State highway 41 and its beautiful namesake Spirit Lake. Besides being a wonderful place to live, Spirit Lake is the ideal locale for many outdoor and water sports activities.
Ample trailhead parking is available right downtown making a visit to the area merchants and restaurants a must after a day of hiking, biking, boating or touring our town.
Brief History
Spirit Lake was formed in 1908 and started out as a timber town, producing many tens of thousands of board feet of lumber per day.
The town prosperred and became a popular destination. In 1939 a huge fire destroyed much of the mill and most of the stocks of lumber. Spirit Lake's timber era drew to a close.
Today the lumber industry is revived, with the Inland Empire Paper Company doing a splendid job of managing the surrounding forests. Tourism is now fast becoming a major industry for our little town, with many people coming from near and far to play on and around our beautiful lake.
