PARK UPDATE:
Camping season is upon us! Hawley’s Landing Campground will be the first to open on April 4th for same day walk-ins only. Spots will be reservable starting May 3rd.
Open House: An open house regarding the new marina is scheduled for Monday April 29, 2024 from 6:00 – 8:00 PM. The open house will be at the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation North Region Office in the Roosevelt Room, located at 2885 Kathleen Avenue, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho 83815.
We also have a much-anticipated announcement: We have drinkable water! After our main water line being replaced last year, we were recently able to put a chlorination system in. We have purged and tested the line several times and the Department of Environmental Quality has given us the thumbs up to remove the Boil Water Advisory. Our water is clean and ready to drink.

The Coeur d’ Alene Indians were the first inhabitants of the area now known as Heyburn State Park. An ideal place for an encampment, the lakes provided an abundance of fish and waterfowl. The heavily timbered slopes and open meadows were ideal habitat for deer, bear and upland birds.
Heyburn State Park was created from the Coeur d’ Alene Indian Reservation by an act of Congress, on April 20, 1908. The deed, signed by President William Howard Taft, granted 5,744 acres of land and 2,332 acres of water to the State. The park was named in honor of U.S. Senator W.B. Heyburn of Idaho.
Much of the early construction was performed by Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Between 1934 and 1941, the CCC built roads, trails, bridges, campgrounds, picnic areas, picnic shelters and the Rocky Point Lodge. Today, many of these facilities are still in use and are a proud legacy of the CCC.
