Get on the water all summer without the hassle and cost of boat ownership.
Hayden Lake is a seven-mile long, two-mile wide North Idaho gem of crystal-clear water. Unfortunately, if you don’t own a boat, opportunities for enjoying this beautiful lake are limited. Enter the Carefree Boat Club of North Idaho. A membership to this club is the solution to summer fun on Hayden Lake and other Inland Northwest lakes without all of the expenses and work involved with boat ownership. In addition to boat access on Hayden Lake, Carefree Boat Club members can enjoy boating locally at Bayview, Priest River, and Sandpoint, as well as with over 140 Carefree Boat clubs around the world!

If you’ve been thinking about buying a boat, spend some time at a boat launch first, where you’ll likely bear witness to the dark side of owning one: tense couples struggling to launch or load boats; boats bumping into each other or docks; and a variety of other boat, trailer, and vehicle mishaps. Then give Carefree Boat Club a call (208-929-8617). It’s the solution for those who would rather walk onto a dock with towels and a cooler in hand and get on a boat and out in the water to play in minutes. After a fun day in the sun, pull back up to the dock and it’s time to go home. Carefree Boat Club does the work of cleaning, buttoning up, and maintaining the boats. Then when boating season wraps up, they winterize and store the boats, leaving you with more time for yourself and family.
Hayden Lake, just a few minutes north of Coeur d’Alene, has 40 miles of shoreline with warm, summertime water that’s perfect for swimming, tubing, and wake sports. There’s also some fabulous fishing! The fleet of Carefree Boat Club boats at Hayden Lake Marina include a pontoon boat, jet boat, and wake-surf boat. Grab a pontoon boat and head out to join the festivities at the Hayden Lake sandbar. Shred the wake on a surf session in the wake-surf boat. Or cruise the bays in the jet boat. Grab a boat and go. Learn more at Carefreeboats.com/locations/north-idaho/hayden-lake-marina.
