About this campground
This small, seven unit picnic area offers a pleasant highway rest stop near the edge of the forest. A short half-mile trail offers scenic views of Coeur d’Alene Lake. An 800-foot paved path leads to a viewing deck overlooking beautiful Beauty Bay. An additional unpaved scenic half-mile loop trail in a forested setting provides additional views of Lake Coeur d'Alene.
Getting there
From Coeur d'Alene head east along I-90 and then take the Wolf Lodge Exit (Highway 97). Follow the highway south for approximately 4 miles, and the Beauty Bay parking area is on the north side of the road.
