This pond which is two ponds actually unless its at flood level is a small fishing pond next to the North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River and the location where Steamboat Creek enters the river (thus its name). Steamboat Creek is actually across the Coeur d'Alene River from the pond, so the creek does not touch the pond at all. This is a great pond to catch rainbow trout from.

Directions: From I90 take the Kingston Exit 43. Traveling north on Forest Highway 2 to mile marker 11, turn left into the Steamboat Pond gravel parking lot (there is a sign).
