Hayden Lake Stats:
Hayden Lake, like Lake Coeur d'Alene and other lakes surrounding the Spokane Valley and Rathdrum Prairie, was formed by the Missoula Floods, most recently 12,000 to 15,000 years ago. The Purcell Lobe of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet flowed south from Canada, carving the basin of present-day Lake Pend Oreille and damming the Clark Fork river. The impounded river repeatedly filled to form Glacial Lake Missoula and broke through the ice dam, resulting in massive floods that filled the Rathdrum Prairie area with sand, gravel, and boulders.[2] Large eddy bars formed downstream from bedrock obstructions, thereby damming tributary valleys and creating lakes.
Hayden Lake’s unique beauty attracted several wealthy people in the early 1900s. F. Lewis Clark Mansion was built in 1910 and was the most expensive home in Idaho at the time. In 1914 Lewis mysteriously disappeared and he was never heard from again. [3] Today the Clark House is beautifully restored as a restaurant / bed and breakfast. In 1907, The Hayden Lake Country Club became a gathering place for area for many socialites, like Bing Crosby. A railway expansion made travel easy from nearby Spokane. HLCC opened the first 18-hole golf course in the state of Idaho in 1912. [4]
From the 1970s until 2001, the neo-Nazi Aryan Nations had its headquarters in a 20-acre (8.1 ha) compound at Hayden Lake. In September 2000 the Southern Poverty Law Center won a $6.3 million judgment against the Aryan Nations from an Idaho jury who awarded punitive and compensatory damages to Victoria Keenan and her son, Jason, who were attacked by Aryan Nations guards in 1999.[5] Bullets struck the Keenan's car several times then the car crashed and an Aryan member held the Keenans at gunpoint.[6] As a result of the judgment, Richard Butler turned over the compound to the Keenans, who then sold the property to a philanthropist, who subsequently donated it to North Idaho College, which designated the land as a "peace park."[7][8]
