Included are picnic facilities, restrooms, wellhouse, and hiking trails. The park contains additional historic and cultural properties aside from the CCC improvements, however many of the 1920s-era cabins, clustering in two principal locations along Rocky Point and the Chatcolet townsite, have been inappropriately altered. Integrity issues and the presence of many modern in-fill cabins make district nomination of these areas unlikely. A segment of the Mullan Trail, which passes through this area, documents the first attempt to build an army supply road to link the Missouri River at Fort Benton, Montana with the Columbia River. (The second effort to build the trail occurred at the north end of Lake Coeur d'Alene.) This trail, and others in this region of the state, are unrelated to the CCC era and would fall most appropriately under a contextual treatment of trail building in north Idaho. Other potential cultural resources within and outside of park boundaries include archaeological sites which may have potential to yield information about prehistoric and historic native occupation along the lake. Because the lake-front site has a long documented use as hunting and fishing grounds for the Coeur d'Alene Indians, traditional cultural properties may also exist. To date, no archaeological or cultural inventory has been made in the vicinity of the park. SETTING The nominated properties are located within Heyburn State Park in Idaho's panhandle. The park is situated at the south end of Lake Coeur d'Alene where the St. Joe River enters into the lake, its banks creating four shallow bodies of water known as Chatcolet, Hidden, Round and Benewah lakes. A dam constructed on the Spokane River at the north end of Lake Coeur d'Alene in 1903 raised water levels in these small lakes and enhanced waterfowl habitat and recreational potential.
