Hayden Lake, Lakeside resort city in Kootenai County, Idaho.
The city spans 0.68 square miles along the western shore of a 4,000-acre lake with 40 miles of shoreline at 697 meters elevation.
The Coeur D'Alene tribe first inhabited the area until Father DeSmet arrived as the first European visitor, naming it Lake DeNuf during his mission.
The establishment of the Hayden Lake Country Club in 1907 brought Idaho's first 18-hole golf course and created a social center for regional residents.
Honeysuckle Beach provides public access to the lake with swimming areas, docks, changing facilities, and boat launches for water activities throughout summer months.
The city's name originated from Mat Heyden, who won the lake's naming rights in a game of Seven-Up poker against fellow settlers John Hager and John Hickey.
