Round Lake State Park

Round Lake State Park is a protected area in Idaho built around a glacial lake set within a forested landscape. The park includes trails, campgrounds with both serviced and basic sites, and shoreline access for water recreation.

The park was established in 1965 as a protected area for public enjoyment and wildlife care. The lake itself formed thousands of years earlier when glaciers shaped the land during past ice ages.

Visitors can walk through the forest and observe birds and wildlife in their natural settings. The quiet surroundings draw people seeking a break from everyday life and a chance to connect with nature.

The park is open year-round, with the warmest months offering the easiest access to trails and campsites. Bring insect repellent and watch the weather, as mountain conditions can change quickly throughout the day.

Only non-motorized and electric boats are allowed on the water, keeping the lake quiet and free from engine noise. This rule makes the lake uncommon as a place where you can enjoy boating without the usual motor sounds.
