Avondale on Hayden - Hayden Lake, Idaho - Lifestyle and History

I have been asked numerous times to describe the Avondale on Hayden Lifestyle and provide a bit of History.  This has prompted me to compile the following information on the community "Avondale on Hayden"  I hope this helps helps you to visualize "The Lifestyle"

Avondale Lake is a small pristine lake that is a popular for fishing and ice fishing for Crappie, Bass and Bluegill.  It is also a popular for Ice-Skating in the winter.

The Avondale on Hayden/ Avondale Golf Club, is a PGA-rated Golf Course open to public play with impeccably groomed fairways that wind through some of North Idaho's most spectacular wooded scenery, treating golfers to a visual wonderland, as well as offering them a challenging and enjoyable 6,600 yard 18 hole course.

The city of Hayden Lake and community of Avondale on Hayden border the western shores of Hayden Lake. About 4,000 acres in size with 40+ miles of shoreline, the lake hosts one full service marina and two public boat launches, a Public Restaruant and the Hayden Lake Country Club. Honeysuckle Beach is a sandy beach with a roped swim area, dock, public change house and restrooms. Fishing and water sports are popular pastimes on the lake. Hayden Lake offers some of the most desired lakefront living in North Idaho. Its close proximity to Spokane and Coeur d'Alene and the many recreational opportunities available are enhanced by the limited access and peaceful water traffic. The "Gold Coast", as some parts of the shoreline of Hayden Lake are called, offer spectacular views. With the proximity of the Coeur d'Alene Airport and its surrounding industrial property, we are poised for successful "family friendly" community growth.

You can also participate in the many seasonal events such as Hayden's "Winter Carnival" where you can take a surrey ride while listening to carolers singing or pick out that special gift from one of the many crafters' booths.
