Next to a scenic lake, Rose Lake appeals to anglers of all levels. There are fishing docks and boat fishing is popular. The historical and primitive campsites line the river system, and there are resort rentals too.
Rose Creek and Rose Lake were named by a family who homesteaded on Cougar Creek, for their daughter Rose Brown. The Rose Lake Post Office was established in 1905, and by 1916 the population was 500. The town was primarily a company town for the Rose Lake Lumber Company, which was then known as the Winton Lumber Company. Rose Lake is one of 11 lakes along the Coeur d'Alene River. Most of the present camping sites along this river system were used since time immemorial by the Coeur d'Alene Tribe for winter village sites or seasonal camps.
