Webmaster: Light up Northern Idaho on the LBNA map - Kootenai county has a
letterbox!
Hayden Lake Letterbox
Nearest Town: Hayden, ID
County: Kootenai
Difficulty: Easy Drive By
On the East side of Hayden Lake, near Mokins Bay, there lives a new
letterbox.
Find the road that circumnavigates the lake. Start on the West side of the
lake, and travel clockwise. Enjoy the views along the lake - but be
careful - the road twists and winds along, and there are opportunities to
view the lake from a very "up close and personal" viewpoint if you're not
driving carefully! Watch for wildlife along this road too. We've observed
Turkeys, Moose, Bald Eagles, and Osprey here before. There are also bear
and an occasional Cougar.
When you come to the entrance to Camp MiVoden, turn around - you've gone too
far. Backtrack about 1/4 mile to find Mokins Bay Rd. on your right. Park
here and place the Mokins Bay Road sign to your back. Take 16 paces (32
steps) to "IS&W". Stay on the same side of the road as "IS&W" and take 24
1/2 paces (49 steps) Northeast. Look for an obvious hiding place. ( I had
compass headings for the clues but I found out later my flux gate compass
wasn't calibrated. I'll add compass bearings soon.)
